You are not too much. The world was just too small. You have felt it: the quiet exhaustion of editing yourself before you even open your mouth. Choosing your words. Watching your tone. Shrinking so someone else stays comfortable.

That is not living. That is surviving on someone else's terms. Stop apologizing for who you are. You were never just one thing either.

This is a place where being seen is not a reward you earn. It is the starting point. This is a place where you can just be yourself?
