Meet the New Janet

The Janet who entered this hospital is not the Janet who is going home. Would you like to meet her?

Yes, I know we’ve crossed paths before, but the person you think I am isn’t here anymore. I’ve changed, grown, evolved – you pick the word because you have no idea who I am now. Very few do. And the moment that you stop trying to define me in terms of how I used to be is when we will get along just fine. Allow me to reintroduce myself. Please don’t try to fit me into any boxes or definitions of who you think I am- just accept me as I am and embrace the person I’m becoming.. Because I am. I’ve stopped doubting myself, putting myself down and thinking I wasn’t good enough. I am and always will be more than enough. I deserve the best and I’m not settling for being an option or the scraps of anyone’s attention anymore. I’m changing the game and stepping up my standards.. So, if you can elevate who you are, how you treat me and your character, Then we will be just fine.. But if you expect the same ol nonsense from me that you get from everyone else- including the old me… Well, then, you’re about to be disappointed. I don’t roll that way anymore. Higher class, higher expectations and higher standards are not just a choice for me anymore.. They’re part of who I am. So, if you’re willing to step up, speak up and man up, then let’s dance. Otherwise, please stop standing in the doorway.. Either go or stay, love me or don’t, but choose your path. I’m never going to wait around or anyone to decide if I’m worth it. I’m worth everything- It’s up to you if you’re able to understand that, be that and accept that. I do. And that will always be what matters most to me.

Best, Janet
