If I were to sum it up in a single phrase it would be "Stop trying to prove your own validation to yourself (and others) and give yourself permission to simply exist as you already are" 🫠
Meaning the people you don't have to hide from are already there.
"Stop auditioning for the ones who don't care" it said (and I will add or even for who do care but can't get it. ~ like explaining the struggles of curly/straight/thin/thick/hair to someone that never and will be never have it)
Our real families and friends don't need us to prove anything to love us
Harder done than said but let me try to be authentically brave rather than waste so much time and energy to be "accepted"
