Isn't it strange (or maybe not) that often the very quote that you need will somehow find you on the day that you need it. Or someone will randomly say just the right thing that gives you a whole different view of a problem. This has just popped up in my facebook and after an "enlightening" weekend it's exactly what I have been thinking about for most of the last few days. It has put into words those swirling thoughts.......
I don't want sit in circles where I have to strive to belong.
I don't want to squeeze myself into small spaces that aren't meant for me.
I don't want to "tone down" my personality so I'll be liked.
I don't want to wear the right things or own the right things to feel like I fit in.
I've done it all before and it left me empty and lonely.
I've realized that fitting in was never the same as belonging and that being in "that circle" was never worth sacrificing who I am.
Now I find spaces that have room for me to be me, and want you to know that when you sit by me, there's room for you to be you too.
