Don’t Dim Your Light

Don’t be afraid to be fully who you are.

Not a quieter version, not a smaller shape, not a softer edge.

Be all of it.

Your laugh.

Your pain.

Your power.

Let it echo through rooms that once made you shrink.

The world will try to edit you.

Trim your wildness.

Tame your wonder.

But don’t hand them the pen.

You were born with gifts—sacred, rare, needed.

They may not look like anyone else’s.

That’s the point.

Your truth will make some uncomfortable.

Let it.

Your voice will wake some who’d rather sleep.

Speak anyway.

You are not here to be liked.

You are here to be known.

To be felt.

To be free.

Authentically you.

So hold your ground, even if it shakes.

Love yourself, even if they don’t understand.

Shine, even when it makes them squint.

Because somewhere out there, a younger soul is watching.

And she will follow the trail you blaze back to her own wild, beautiful truth.
