There was a time I tried to be everything they wanted… quieter, prettier, less opinionated — just so I could feel accepted.
I smiled when I wanted to speak. I agreed when I didn’t believe it. I stayed silent — and it hurt.
Until one day, I asked myself: *“What if I’m enough as I am?”*
What if I don’t need to shrink to belong? What if I’m not too much — just too *real* for the wrong crowd?
> That question changed me.
I started walking taller. Speaking truth. Choosing peace over people-pleasing. And slowly… I felt free.
Your worth isn’t earned through approval. It’s something you *own*.
You don’t have to fit in to be valuable. You just have to *know* who you are.
