So relatable. The impact it has on our personalities. And the amount of effort we now do to go back to ourselves ,to the version who in the very small moments along her life was made to feel βtoo muchβ when she was just being herself and subconsciously adapted to just fitting in and not shining because somebody somewhere would have an opinion about it.
thank you for this ! i struggle with the discomfort of being perceived and this piece really did help remind me that in truth, it just doesnβt matter. it sounds like a straightforward epiphany, but those who know know that its not so simple
« You donβt need to go around correcting the wrong versions of you that exist in other peopleβs narratives.Β Β» I needed this and your whole article, thank you so much. It reminded me of the poem Let Them by Cassie Phillips
This really resonated with me, because Iβve always felt observed and judged since I was a child, people always had an opinion on whether I had health issues, if I was too thin, too fat, if I had a boyfriend at high school, if I was in dancing classes, if I wasnβt. I was constantly being judged publicly and in my teenage years my life looked like a Netflix series more than anything. Sometimes I forget that I can just be me and I forget that the reason why nobody gets me is because Iβm unique and thatβs ok.
thank you for this!!
