I have tried to shrink myself. Tried to become smaller. Quieter. Less sensitive. Less opinionated. Less me.I didn't want to be too much that I push him away. I just wanted him to see me. Really see me for me. I wanted to be cared for and valued. I wanted to be wanted.

For years, I sacrificed myself for the sake of making him happy. And for years, I suffered in silence. Was it worth it?

I'm tired of suffering and I'm done shrinking. Why should I try so hard to prove to him that I am a worthy human being? I am worthy!

He may not think so. But that doesn't matter. I matter. My thoughts matter. My feelings matter. And my voice matters.

I don't need his validation or approval. I will be who I am and speak my truth. Even if it makes him angry. Even if it makes him uncomfortable. Even if he chooses to leave.

I refuse to shrink anymore. I choose to take up space. I choose to honor my feelings. I choose to make myself a priority.
