Question of the Day!

Two months ago when I changed my name IRL to Jayne.

I had to choices, stick with the name that all the baggage attached to it that's been holding me back for 45 years and try to unpack it;

or

Shove the name in one of the bags, stick the suitcases at the curb for the garbage truck and be who I am without the definitions I've been assigned by other people my whole life.

Best. Decision. Ever.

Never underestimate the power of a name, or how much power the simple name change removes from other people.

Me to IRL unnamed people: Yeah, you knew what the *old* person did, liked, and behaved because you built the box that defined all that.

But Jayne? She's the architect now. Good luck and God bless.
