For a long time, I thought fitting in meant being safe.
So I made myself smaller.
I kept my opinions to myself.
I tried not to stand out.
I wore the mask I thought would help me belong.
The strange thing is, we can grow up and still carry those same patterns into our adult lives.
Only now, we’re safe to be seen.
We’re allowed to have an opinion.
We’re allowed to be different.
We’re allowed to take up space.
Maybe you don’t need to become someone new.
Maybe you just need to remember that you don’t have to hide anymore. 🤍
Where are you still making yourself smaller?
