Part 1

How was your day? I started out ready to be the guest of honor seated in the middle of some sad ass pity party, a tribute to as many past hurts as a person could recall in 27. It’s a comfortable habit, you know, a thing I do when I feel like glamorizing some ole version of the the yesterday blues!

 

Part 2

Suddenly struck by reality that the earth is still spinning and my time is too precious to wallow in some overdramatized “poor me” dialogue.

 

Part 3

I shudder to think that I almost forfeited flattering light and a precious Me minute to do some overdone random unDiva moment!
