How do you hold onto who you are when others are telling you differently?

I'm fifty-three and so when you ask me how do I hold onto my sense of self when others are telling me differently, I would say that with age comes a comfort in knowing who I am and who I want to be. I feel moral comfort in who I am.

I would definitely say that when I was younger I was much more influenced by others, both professionally and personally. That makes me wonder why? Why was I so insecure that I would change. Or was it that I wanted to belong and so I would change.

Now, I'm not so sure I want to belong so I don't change to make it happen. I know my values and beliefs and I'm less likely to compromise to be different. I've become the other person - I'm trying to change other people.

I'm an advocate for better instruction in education, for better assessment practices, for LGBTQ+ rights, for racial equity, for wealth equity, for the environment, and for sex equity. That means I'm always messaging and challenging to change things. And I do this because I finally think I know who I am.

A surprise when I donated blood today...

I haven’t donated blood for over a year now while my body worked to restore its iron levels and during my break from donating they changed the advice they give donors. It seems they now encourage salty snacks before and after donating to help retain water lost during the blood donation. That means I have an excuse to eat potato chips! Yeah. But I’m not allowed alcohol so there’s a trade off.

My new life goal is to...
