Stay Big

Have you ever felt like you’re too much? Like the bigness of your personality, passion, or person is overwhelming for the people around you? I get it. I wear my muchness on my sleeve, mainly because I got tired of hiding and being less out of fear or pressure from other people’s expectations of me. There are still days when the temptation for normalcy beckons to me and I ache to just be able to be like other people. But that would mean killing who I am, putting on a false face of lessness, and destroying the wild and wonderful creature I’ve been designed to be. And wouldn’t that be tragic? Don’t rob the world of your one-of-a-kind beauty for the sake of fitting in a box that you were made to destroy. I need you at your fullness, it helps me be brave.
