Somewhere along the way, a lot of us got really good at making ourselves easier for other people to deal with.
Less loud.
Less emotional.
Less opinionated.
Less complicated.
Less us.
And after doing it long enough, you start forgetting what you actually look like without the filter.
I’m done with that. I’m not saying I have everything figured out. I’m saying I’m tired of apologizing for taking up space.
