Today's writing prompt was "How do others see you?" Here's what I wrote:
On the inside, I am fierce, and forceful - a warrior. On the outside, I am invisible. On the inside, I sparkle, and everyone admires my splendid-ness. On the outside, I made a successful career in a leadership role even though other Finance people didn’t understand me. On the inside, I despised office politics. On the outside, I am concise, direct and honest, while being tactful and polite. On the inside, I want to tell people what I REALLY think. On the outside, I hired good people, coached and mentored them well, and continue to celebrate their success. On the inside, I loved the more creative aspects of my job. And hated the rest. On the outside, I left my job gracefully. On the inside, I was crying. On the outside, I am an old-ish woman whose contributions to the corporate world are no longer valued. I am a dinosaur. On the inside, I have moved on. On the outside, I have disappeared from the corporate world. And I love it! On the inside, I find magic in simple things – and spin tales about them. On the outside, I am quiet. On the inside, I can fly. On the outside, I am not listened to. Often enough. On the inside, I convene with fairies, frogs, cats, and chickens. On the outside, I keep a clean house, do laundry, shop, and cook. On the inside, I love art, music, dance, beauty. On the outside, I change home décor seasonally. On the inside, I am deeply passionate. On the outside, I cry at commercials. Silently. On the inside, I dream about different lives, different personas, and make up stories about them. On the outside, I make lists. On the inside, I make lists. On the outside, I am free. On the inside, my imagination takes flight. On the outside, I love my family and close friends. On the inside, I love my family and close friends. On the outside, I am a writer. On the inside, I am a writer
