“You can’t be legible to everyone without erasing yourself” So many takeaways but this is the line that struck me

Wow! This peice is so powerful.

I truly do believe all of us need to become more comfortable being less palatable. To find what things and people truly align with you, you need to be brave enough to let yourself be seen.

As someone who has a big personality that isn't compatible with many of the people I meet, I had to learn that it wasn't about me and that being liked by everyone is not only impossible, it would be exhausting.

So important! We spend way too much time performing for acceptance.

Why do we keep mistaking likability for humility?

This is really good. I appreciate the encouragement to be ourselves. The world sends us a contradictory message so we can feel alone in this sometimes. Great work!

"Someone thinks you're arrogant for being certain about something you've studied deeply. Someone calls you cold for setting a boundary that protects your energy. A silence settles over the room after you say something direct instead of wrapping it in qualifiers and apologies." wow you've been describing my interactions for the past few months. people keep saying i'm condescending and i'm like ??? no???? so thank you, you made me feel seen 💖

Gem of an article<3

While reading, I found myself wondering, as we try to reconnect with our authentic selves, how can we reconcile and forgive the versions of us that performed for universal eligibility?
