Hey, you.

Yes, you.

You, specifically.

You deserve to take up space. To ask for help from your friends when your heart hurts. To share your joy at your triumphs at full volume. To live as the most authentic version of your self, no matter what other people think.

You deserve to be life-sized.

That was well timed: not long ago I would have refused to believe it but I'm finally getting better! (thanks to hormones and some wonderful people here)

@Impossible_PhD I don't normally do New Year's resolutions, and I started out pretty down on observing the new year. Why would I want a new year when the old one was so terrible? But by the time I went to sleep I found myself with a resolution. I've got a lot of work to do on myself, and one part of that is that I'm going to stop making myself small.

I still have to unwrap what that means, honestly. But I know I moderate my actions based on the anticipated reaction or lack of reaction from other people. I need to learn how to do things for my own satisfaction and to stop letting a few mistakes and negative experiences color my expectations.

@Impossible_PhD thankyou. Despite my friends caring about me it's really difficult to shake off sometimes.
