After being called a “doormat” by one of my closest friends, I began to think about how I went about my daily life.  How I interacted with people to be called something so surprising to me by someone I thought knew me best. 

Power is an interesting concept. It’s defined as our ability to do something or act in a particular way. I choose to leverage power to encourage me to love who I am today in the pursuit of who I desire to be tomorrow. 

I wasn’t always the best at setting boundaries, especially when I was in high school. I would push myself to do things for the sake of it, or just because others have asked me to do it.
