Ashes To Bloom

So how do you remember? How do you reclaim the light that was always yours?

You start by deciding that your light matters more than their comfort.

You start by saying:

• “I am allowed to take up space”
• “My feelings are valid”
• “I don’t need to earn the right to exist fully”
• “My light is not a problem to be managed”
• “I am made of stardust, and I will shine”

You start by understanding that anyone who needs you dim is not meant to be in your light.

The right people – the people who are meant for you – won’t ask you to shrink.

They’ll say: “My god, look at you shine. Don’t you dare dim that for me or anyone else.”

They’ll bring their own light and watch what happens when two stars shine together.
