Get a Move On

I have a research day today and my project is sooooo boring. I understand it's relative importance to the economics and future of migraine and I PROMISED I'd work on it, so there I go. Diseases related to young women are underfunded; I don't think our society sees us as an important influencial demographic. We are somehow seen as 'emotional and fickle' and the best and brightest of us are out here working our butts off changing that perception. I counsel alot as part of my job as a headache specialist. I counsel women on stress, relationships, work-life balance, alternative therapies, anxiety and depression. Well it's no wonder it's a struggle, if we are seen as emotional and fickle and unable to make our own decisions. PlannedParenthood is right across the street from where I live and I am in disbelief that people would stand out there and protest in this busy day in age. I am not even allowed to make my own decisions, to lead my own life because I am a young woman? How dare you?!

That undercurrent is running pretty strongly in my life right now as I make my own decisions of how I want my life to be. I have to be brave against all odds and mold my life to my mind's eye. I can do this. I know I can.
