This Is Your Time

VERSION 2 of “Don’t Let The Sun Set

I withdrew from California State University, Northridge for loving reasons. I was not expecting any response to those loving reasons, but I was also not expecting a cold email repeating something I said I already knew in a previous email.

While I was trying to be honest and settle things with a couple of other people who did not want me to go to the school, I did not get a thank you. I got an angry email about my honest email and I told them basically to go f%!@ off. (I apologized later.)

I will be 50 this year, this is my time. I can make my own decisions. I told CSUN that circumstances had changed and I wanted to rescind my withdrawal. Fortuntaely, they let me back into the program.

Don’t let anyone take away your time, your moment in the spotlight. If people don’t understand you, let them not understand you, and just don’t care about what someone else thinks.
