The lesson I’m taking from this:
you’re allowed to be in your own life.
In your work.
In your joy.
In your stories.
In your growth.
In the things you’re proud of.
That doesn’t mean you’re making everything about you.
It means you’re not abandoning yourself for the sake of being perceived as “easy” or “not too much.”
You can reflect without shrinking.
You can own what’s yours without carrying what isn’t.
You can care about your impact without making yourself invisible.
Honestly, wild that this still needs to be said, but here we are.
I’ll be over here taking up an appropriate but still noticeable amount of space. x
