If your life were a movie, what would its theme song be? I think one running theme in my life is learning to manage my own self talk or thoughts of doubt. When I heard the song What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Paranoid, by The Beaches, I laughed out loud. The lyrics hit home and were so relatable: “Ran up my minutes in my inner voice She loves to bring up all my issues, God, she’s a bitch” I feel like I spend so much time in deep thought in my own head weighing situations, approaches, actions, playing out scenarios and back up plans just to jump right into things without a care after all. As I’ve grown, especially as a parent and educator, I do a lot better redirecting myself to more valuable thought processes but it’s still nice to know others, especially another woman, feels the same.
