Patrick, Not Pat

@patricknotpat.blacksky.app

I’m here to kick it with my boys and my gworls.

Also.. I’m reaching the age where rejection letters make me a little bit happy because I already stretch myself incredibly thin and I still struggle with saying no. I appreciate the Universe stepping in on my behalf.

I’m also thinking a lot about leadership. Still, people don’t see (my) kindness and emotionally-intelligent leadership as weaknesses. This is absolutely rooted in misogyny and homophobia. And I don’t know yet how to solve this proactively. It often makes me feel lonely and vulnerable.

First, I miss y’all. I miss being online and having freedom over my time. When I took this job as a Director of a residential summer program, I had no idea that it would have me working around the clock the way it has. I knew I’d have to put out fires and things, but this has been wilddddd.
