“Too much.”
I fail to count how many times a guy has told me that.
Being the kind of person who is not afraid to speak her mind, I was often belittled.
Belittled by men who thought they were superior, who thought a woman with too many opinions was a lot to take.
It affected me so much that I was afraid to speak out in front of these men. I often played dumb in order for them to like me.
Suppressing my thoughts came at a cost. I felt lost, small and invisible.
Like my words didn’t matter.
Like I didn’t matter.
It was only after I starting loving myself, accepting each and every part of my being, that I was finally at peace with myself.
And what did it cost me?
Loss of friendships and relationships with people who were not meant to be in my life anyway.
To all the woman, don’t let stupid people dim your light.
You will be good enough for the right ones.
And if you are “Too Much” for them, they are “Too Less” for you…
