Chapter 18 – A res-YOU-me

I once had a conversation with a friend in which I told her I wished we had “real” resumes. A place where we could talk about our interests, our most important takeaways, our values. She laughed and suggested, “Oh, you mean like a res-YOU-me?”

Yes, yes. That’s exactly what I mean:

And what if there was a place, a document,

a resume – a res-YOU-me –

to be entirely real and expressive? To showcase you?

A place to say, “this is me.”

A place that acts as a reminder?

A place to document ephipanies?

A place that is starkly you?

A place to say, “this is me.”

And what if, in this place, you could

wander, live, grow, and express your voice?

Be free? Fearless? Unafraid?

Say, without a doubt, this is me.

And what if, just what if, you told people who you really are?
