Sometimes you just need your people to remind you who the hell you are, and that’s okay. Yesterday I had an insanely beautiful afternoon with some of my dearest friends, and as I was explaining how I thought I should water myself down a bit to be less intense and less passionate, I was met with more support than I ever could have imagined. They said A B S O L U T E L Y NOT! The right people will love me for these qualities, and I should always be exactly who I am. And honestly?! THEY ARE RIGHT. You won’t be for everyone. And if you are, you’re not being authentic. So for any of you who feel like you’re too much, perhaps you’re surrounding yourself with the wrong people. If the last 3 years of my life has taught me anything, it’s that the right people will always stay. The right people will love you, all the parts of you, and sometimes it’s okay to need that reminder. Never change who you are deep in your bones to be easier to swallow. Let it go. Just be. Messy. Intense. Passionate. A LOT. I say it often, but I’ll say it again. I am so grateful for my tribe. Much love, Hippies 💜
