stop shrinking yourself to make other people comfortable

• i spent so long trying to be the cool unbothered alt girl who didn’t need anyone

• i said yes when i wanted to say no

• i thought being wanted was the same as being loved

• your softness isn’t weakness, your desires aren’t shameful, and your “too much” isn’t actually too much for the right person

• find someone who loves the loud music, the dark clothes, the anxious brain, the horny thoughts, and the soft needy parts all at once

• when you find them, let yourself be loved hard even when it feels scary

• protect your peace like it’s gold

• say no, set boundaries, walk away from anything that makes you feel small

• don’t rush into forever just because you’re scared of figuring shit out on your own

• you’re allowed to take your time

• you’re allowed to be a mess and still be worthy of love

• i used to think i had to choose between being wild and being loved

• turns out i get to be both

• now i’m 23, pregnant, still blasting my music, still getting absolutely railed by my husband, and happier than i’ve ever been

• so babygirl, be loud, be soft, be you

• the right people will stay

• the wrong ones were never supposed to

• you’ve got this
