To The person who has learned to shrink themselves
Dear you,
Maybe you learned to apologize for being emotional, enthusiastic, quiet, intense, sensitive, ambitious, needy, complicated or simply different from what someone expected.
There are parts of ourselves worth examining, but there is a difference between growing and disappearing. You do not have to become smaller so that every room can remain comfortable.
Look for people and places where honesty does not require constant self-erasure. You are allowed to grow without becoming invisible.
