Ashes To Bloom

You weren’t put on this Earth to:

• Make yourself small so others feel big
• Dim your light so others feel comfortable in their darkness
• Apologize for the space you occupy
• Earn the right to exist fully

You were born to shine.

To express. To create. To feel deeply. To love fiercely. To laugh loudly. To take up space unapologetically.

To burn as brightly as the stars that made you.

Every time you dim yourself – every time you shrink, silence yourself, or make yourself less – you’re not just hurting yourself.

You’re contradicting the Universe itself.

You’re telling billions of years of cosmic evolution, “Thanks, but I’ll pass.”

You’re telling the stardust that travelled across space and time to form you, “Actually, I’d rather be small.”

You’re extinguishing a light that was billions of years in the making.
