You are more than enough

You are more than enough! This is because people cannot see your light does not mean you are not entitled to success, security, and stability.

Back at school, many people including ex-friends and teachers used to say that “I was too much.” I always did not understand this phase and used to take offense to that statement all the time.

But, now I understand what they mean…

They were uncomfortable with my light. The fact I exuded quiet confidence and was just authentically myself. I did not need to put on an act to fit in or to feel worthy to my academic peers. My mantra was and still is “Okay if you don’t like me, then I will distance myself and be surrounded by people who do”. Maybe I have an avoidant attachment who knows but at the same time, I was protecting my peace. Being accepted is not the end goal when it comes to cultivating relationships. The self-acceptance comes within you. Are you happy where you are now? If not, what small changes can you make to improve yourself: physically, mentally, and emotionally?

Unfortunately, society believes “Staying Humble” is the way to go. For many years, I got stuck in being humble, the quiet one, the mysterious one.

Well, enough is enough, Exist loudly. Be you.

If people get triggered by you shining and being yourself, then those people do not align with you.
