Let me say this slow so it really hits you.
You were never meant to make yourself small for someone else.
Not for a friend. Not for a partner. And not for family...
Not for anyone.
But somewhere along the way, you started doing it.
You got quiet when you had something to say. You stopped dreaming out loud. And you played it small so other people would feel okay around you.
And that's not love - that's fear.
Here's what I know to be true...the right people will never ask you to shrink.
They'll cheer for you. They'll make room for you. And they'll want to see you win.
If someone in your life needs you to be less...then they aren't your person.
You were made to take up space. You were made to shine. And you were made to be fully, completely, loudly yourself.
Stop shrinking.
You're not too much. The truth is, you just haven't found the people who are enough for you yet.
