'I was the best version of myself outside of the confines and culture of the corporate workplace.'
ometimes I wonder what my co-workers see when they look at me. For a long time, I tried to look and act the part, to behave the way that may be expected of me. I relaxed my hair. I wore smooth, slick buns and blazers, and was a regular contributor to meaningless corporate small talk about the weather. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: “Corporate Kasey.” I was dry. Stoic. Unsure. Bored and lonely.
Unfortunately, this girl only showed up two days a week. For the other five days , my loved ones and I had to contend with “Corporate Kasey” and the depressive gray cloud that hung above her. And if I wasn’t careful, she might start to slither in on Sunday evenings in painful, inadvertent anticipation to the start of the workweek. This unhealthy dance of mine wasn’t working, but it continued for years.
Kasey. So, I took small, yet deliberate steps toward living an authentic, happy life. I decided to grow out my relaxed hair and sport my natural, God-given curls everyday of the week, even at work. I started speaking up for myself more at the office and engaged in more meaningful conversations with my co-workers. Eventually, when the time was right and finances allowed, I quit this job and became “Weekend Kasey” full-time.
