Gracious My…
After tonight’s events, I claim the new name of
Min Jung Wolf.
I solve problems.
Logistical, etc.
I take charge of a situation, calm down individuals, manage logistics, and handle problems.
This is, while I remain calm, cool, and steady, quite intellectually and emotionally exhausting at times.
Frankly, and I say this not without a touch of smug satisfaction, I’m really fucking good at this.
I go now to set my well deserved head on a pillow and to close my eyes in utter calm.
Part of me feels that this is a result of some of my professional coaching that I’ve enjoyed over the last few months. Part of me feels that it’s just the expression of my Korean Mom-ness where I like to take care of people, fix things, and make sure that others are in a good safe *place* both emotionally or physically. I’m not always this way but the older I get the more I feel like it’s a natural progression. It’s the reason why people defer to my judgement on things and why they come to me for advice. I take care of problems. I’m The Wolf more often than I likely give myself credit for. I enjoy the challenge of complex personal and professional situations and immediately downshift out of an emotional state to take care of the details, the logistics, and the baseline needs of all interested parties. It’s something I’m good at.
This may be that superpower that I’ve always sought after in terms of identification. Well; that and being able to burp extra well after a lukewarm diet coke. We all have our skills, now don’t we.
