trying

People will judge you for being confident.
For being quiet. Loud even.
You’ll cop it for moving through life in a fashion that is different or for being liberated in places others are stuck.
And it’ll speak straight to their limitations, insecurities & perspectives.

Body positivity will be misunderstood by people who were taught shame around their bodies, sexuality & self expression.
Confidence, misread by those who are yet to integrate their power.
Your pain, dismissed by people unwilling to sit with themselves.

Let.them.

It is up to you to decide who feels good.
In your mind, heart, belly & spirit.

Your people will celebrate you, leave you feeling replenished, open you to new ideas AND they’ll see your light when you temporarily misplace it.

And while you're noticing what you notice, check yourself. Always check yourself. And offer others the grace you seek yourself.

Curiosity softens what criticism hardens.

Appreciate the ones that take the time.
To know you properly is art.
