the one thing i wish i told myself when i was younger: you are not too much. you are not too loud, too sensitive, too weird, too soft, too anything. the people who make you feel like you need to shrink are just afraid of how fully you exist. there will be seasons where being exactly who you are gets you excluded, laughed at, left out. and those seasons will hurt in ways you won’t have words for yet. but they are not proof that something is wrong with you. they are proof that you were never meant for every room. the love that’s coming for you … the friendships, the community, the people who will actually see you … they don’t want the edited version. they want the unfiltered, unpolished, still-figuring-it-out you. and when you find them, you’ll finally understand why it never worked with everyone else. stop trying to be someone people can tolerate. start being someone you can actually live inside of. that’s the whole thing. that’s always been the whole thing. 🤍 #selflove #innerchild...
