When her superior, the King, was short-sighted and ego-centric, she stood up for herself with grace and facts. So did her team. It was amazing to watch.
I realize that, by contrast, I have tried to invest in myself so that I'll be attractive and the object of desire in some way. So, I hit the gym thinking about the accolades I'll get. I put off eating well, so I can show off how much I can eat. I deny myself quality time for exercise, sleep, meditation, etc., so I can double-down on my avoidance of feelings and so I can gain approval of my boss. I never thought I'd say this, but I need to be more like Barbie.
