I've been thinking about something I call ‘indoor cat syndrome.’ It’s not really a syndrome—just a thought I had. When you’ve been in survival mode for so long and finally start addressing your issues, the shift can feel jarring. It’s like taking a cat that’s spent its whole life outside, surviving in the wild, and suddenly bringing it indoors to a safe, loving home. Even if life was harder outside, the cat knew what to do—it had a clear purpose: survive. But now, in this new environment, it’s unsure. The danger is gone, but so is the constant urgency that once gave it direction.

That’s how it felt for me when I started working through my issues. I know I’m better now, but without that ever-present struggle guiding my every move, things feel… off. Like I should be doing something, but I don’t know what. It’s unsettling, even though I know this is a healthier place to be.

I watched the wicked movie. Here's my takeaway that no one asked for

The Wicked Witch, much like Black women, was judged unfairly from the start, exploited for her power, and forced into a life of servitude. Constantly expected to care for everyone while not being offed any of that compassion she extended. Despite the cruelty she faced, she held onto her compassion and empathy. Her ultimate liberation came from embracing her true self, refusing to conform to society's expectations. Yet, this act of self-love was misconstrued as evil, mirroring the experiences of Black women who are labeled as harsh or difficult when they prioritize their own needs.
