I keep having dreams that I could be a motivational speaker to get women into STEM, but then I wake up. Why would I ever encourage another female into this nightmare.

You will be used as their poster child while behind the scenes they punish you for being there. You will never be paid the same and you have to be grateful they ever gave you a chance because you're obviously not there on the merit of your achievements, you're part of the employment quota so they can say they're an equal opportunities employer.

It's soul destroying.

Hi I was today years old when I realized some people truly don’t have to think about every single thing they do. They don’t have to have an imaginary set of rules (I’m not allowed to put on my bra until I’ve brushed my teeth) to function.

This, taken me to 25 to turn around and take it all in and decide now it's my life, no one else is allowed to influence, no one is telling me what and who I can be, once you realise you can do whatever you want you're free. It's your life, choose your own way

“You don’t ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It doesn’t matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance - you don’t have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small. It’s one thing if a person owns up to their behaviour and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and “continues” to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go.”
