The Final Truth
You were never “too much.”
You were just too powerful for a world that benefits from women doubting themselves.
If you’re a woman reading this — don’t shrink. Ever.

Beautifully said.
Disappointing that it continues to need to be said.
Sadly, we do still live in a power structure and patriarchy that benefits from women doubting themselves. It also benefits from women being divided against each other rather than mentoring, uplifting, and uniting with each other.
Calling it out, bringing attention to it, and having the conversation is how change begins 🌸
@ShadowFaerie You articulated this beautifully.
History shows that structures built on silence and division endure only until they are named.
Each conversation that brings these realities into the light becomes part of the slow, necessary work of transformation.

What a powerful, beautiful sentiment! We have been taught to tolerate, take up less space, be as quiet and small as possible, but it is so important to know that we don't owe anyone this: we are allowed to exist as freely as we want to: being loud, problematic, imperfect. Stay authentic and beautiful <3
