Josefina Vazquez Mota quiere que todas las “Mujeres” y “Jóvenes” de México sepan lo corrupto que es Enrique Peña Nieto y que ella es Diferente…diferente de que? Creo que ni ella sabe.

Enrique Peña Nieto se “compromete” a hacer que Josefina Vazquez Mota quede mal en frente de todo México…

In my adulthood, I have become a Person Who Does Not Take Herself Seriously, and I’m not entirely sure why. I was a lot better at taking myself seriously (maybe too seriously) when I was younger. Now I am a lot more jokey in the way that I talk about myself, like I don’t want to be serious about what I do and want to do because that will imply that I think I am capable of doing these things. And I totally am! But what if I’m not?

Take, for instance, this whole pop conference at which I recently presented a paper. When Andrew first suggested that I submit a proposal, I kind of laughed it off like, Yeah, right. I, a not at all established music writer (if I can even call myself that), should submit a proposal to present at this huge deal music conference. LOL. But I thought about it and I realized I had a topic that I would love to present about, so I submitted, not really thinking I would ever get approved. (I did!)

I eventually presented a paper that I had a great time researching and writing as part of a panel that included one of the music writer-scholars I most admire, and he complimented my paper (and said he wanted to read more of my writing and that he wanted me to go study with him at USC?!), which was so mind-blowing to me and made think that maybe I should start taking myself more seriously. I know that I shouldn’t need that validation (something else to work on), but what he said was really significant not only because it came from someone I really admire, but because it was a result of taking a huge risk in terms of putting myself out there in a serious way. I should do that more.
