Every time I want to apologize for being too much I remember when the Mad Hatter tells Alice you lost your muchness, you used to be much muchier.
And that hits different when you've spent your whole life being told to calm down, tone it down, don't feel so deeply, don't love so hard, don't care so much.
People made you believe your intensity was a problem until you actually started shrinking yourself to fit their comfort zone.
But here's the truth nobody tells you, the people who told you that you were too much were simply not enough.
Your fire wasn't the problem, their inability to handle it was.
And somewhere along the way you started apologizing for the very thing that makes you powerful.
You stopped being loud, stopped being passionate, stopped being unapologetically you because someone made you feel like your fullness was a burden.
But you were never too much, you were just in rooms that were too small.
So take your muchness back, every single piece of it, and stop apologizing for being a whole entire storm in a world full of people who are barely a breeze.
