Challenge 163: Can't wait til I'm free

I absolutely hate that my boss has the power to make me feel so shitty. I've completely come to the point where I get a stomach ache the second I hear a text message early in the morning. I dread opening my emails, expecting to get one from him telling me I didn't do something right, or being passive aggressive. It just drives me crazy. I feel bullied. And I hate that I've given him the power to make me feel that way.

I just feel bad for the kids. I can see what's happening to them and I don't feel good about it.

The more time that goes by, the more kids I watch and the more I learn about how everything that happens to us when we're growing up contributes heavily to how we are as adults, the more I want to do something to help. I don't exactly know what that looks like yet. I've daydreamed about opening a school or writing books. But I just don't know. All I know is that kids keep with them forever stuff that they feel when they're little. And if you could only prevent some of that hurt, imagine how much better off they could be. Kids can't help how they feel. They can't help what happens to them. It's just sad.

Today I have to write a "it's not ok how you treat me," email to my boss. I think I'll wait until after my client.
