you don’t have to dim your light so someone else can avoid their shadow.

how i be walking past people knowing my entire existence pisses them off…

and the funniest part? it’s rarely about you. it’s about what you represent to them.

you represent:
the thing they’re scared to go for.
the confidence they wish they had.
the boundaries they don’t know how to set.
the freedom they don’t feel allowed to want.
the reminder that they’ve been playing small and calling it “being realistic.”

so when you show up, it activates all of that. and instead of dealing with their own discomfort, they aim it at you like a dart board.

here’s the thing though: you don’t have to shrink to make other people comfortable.
you don’t have to dim your light so someone else can avoid their shadow.

walk past them anyway. head up. soft heart. firm boundaries.
let them be mad. let them misunderstand. let them project.
