Oh goodness. Oh goodness. Oh goodness.

The paradox of trying to reclaim various powers AND not to feel like too much is so overwhelming at times. My powers are the powers of extroversion, expression, quicksilver thought, and celebration, as well as attention, love, and nurture. These powers can be overwhelming at times, intimidating, or "too much" for some people.

But the opinions of the vast vast vast assembly of people who may be judging me for my body, my ways of speaking, my insistence on taking up space are none of my business.

The world needs my bigness. Every bit? I am sitting, watching the sun come up, and trying to let this message sink in.

You are such a badass.
