You Are Allowed to Take Up Space

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make others comfortable. Your voice, your needs, your dreams—they matter. Take up space unapologetically. You have a right to be seen, heard, and valued. You don’t need to minimize your emotions or hide your brilliance. You are allowed to stand tall in your truth. Every time you honor your worth, you give others permission to do the same. Your existence is valid and necessary, exactly as it is.
