My brain was mush. It had been such an intense day. I did not even know it was happening. I just worked through all of the craziness and chaos of the day, and I moved forward in my traditional ways of getting the job done. The next day I could not line things up. My brain was in a slowed state. I described it as if molasses had a hold on my brain and it was going towards the solution but was very slow to get there… and then it arrived sticky! I hear coconut oil does the trick.
Looking back, it was probably a combination of both personal and professional, but I had trouble figuring out basic words. I did not remember the word "offer". I could not find the term for switchboard, and even describing it was borderline painful! In the midst of it all, here she is, my friend. She reminded me that I am human. She appreciated that I too could have confusion. That I, being the professional I am, and having the capability that I do, am also a real person.
We went to dinner that night and even at dinner, I was not completely on my game. She laughed it off and passed me off to my wonderful fiancé who just giggled and between the two of them; they allowed me to be me. I have not been allotted the opportunity to simply be human in most interactions of life; and when humanity showed itself, I was admonished for it. What an awesome friendship and collaboration for her to appreciate me for who I am and accept me for everything, including my faults.
Find your humanity and allow yourself to be real. It is okay.
