I am a person who is allowed to feel and express their emotions. I am a person who is allowed to have an opinion and share it even if it conflicts with those of others. I am a person who is allowed to rest.

“Finally admitting I’m allowed to be human, too, era.” I was just discussing this with my therapist this morning! (And by “discussing”, I mean she had to repeatedly remind me of this truth 😅) A very timely essay for me--thank you so much! I’m looking forward to the future installments in this series 😊

To answer the prompt: I am a person that is allowed to not always give or be 100%.

Yes to this journey! To answer the prompt:I am a person who is allowed to…not be consistent all the time.

Love everything you have written here. I would answer I am a person who is allowed to just enjoy life ( inspired by my recent personal wrestling with the idea of being a human not a project)

This is great, Aly. I’m here for it. I have some more thoughts on this but am currently away from my notebook where said thoughts lie (lay? Some summer homework for you, Professor!). Also I want to answer your assignment but I just cannot function on phones. I hope I will remember to answer when I’m at my computer later.
