that last line: “I am too much but I better be.” gave me chills. it’s powerful, and it’s true. we weren’t meant to shrink ourselves to fit someone else’s comfort zone✨
I love that you found the realization and the bravery to move through life as your authentic self!
I used to do that too when I was younger, adopt different personalities and call them “experiments.” As I grew older, I ended up forging one out of necessity. Not completely, just partially, just enough to make it through the world. But I never got rid of the real me. I just keep her tucked inside, where it’s safe. Sometimes, when the right person comes along… they get to see her.
Knowing when to let go these constantly judging people, the ones that doesn’t care about you as much as you care about them and most importantly - as much as you care about yourself, this moment is beautiful. When I found out I don’t need to always be for them, I don’t always need to be like they want me to be, was amazing. I could’ve finally be me. Not this always angry about everything dude, because my environment forced me to be tough and harsh. But this sweet guy, who’s lovely and loving.

‘You need to make no effort to be worthy of love, other than being who you know you are’
Letting that powerful truth sink in 🙌🏼
