I like to think of this gentle message today as a love letter to you who’ve been told you’re ‘too much’ and ‘not enough’ all at once.

If you’ve ever felt like a walking contradiction…”too intense yet not assertive enough, deeply wise yet somehow ‘behind’, wildly creative yet frozen by self-doubt”— this is for you ♡

This isn’t just another pep talk. This is ‘permission’ to stop folding yourself into shapes that don’t fit. 

The Myth of the Right Way to Be

So many of us grew up believing there’s a ‘correct’ way to: 

Work (hustle, linear productivity)

Socialize (extroverted, always ‘on’) 

Succeed (hierarchical, measurable) 

But what if your ‘real’ superpower is your ‘divergent’ way of seeing the world? Your depth, your pauses, your need for meaning over speed? 

Try This

Next time you feel ‘wrong’, ask: 
“Is this truly me failing—or am I judging myself for not fitting a system that wasn’t built for my mind?”  

The Radical Act of Trusting Your Softness  

Sensitivity isn’t a flaw. It’s a ‘strength in a world that’s numb’.

Your ‘overthinking’? Depth?. 

Your ‘awkwardness’? Authenticity?  

Your ‘slow pace’? Intentionality?

The world needs people who ‘Feel’ deeply—not just those who ‘Do’ loudly. 

Nurture Note  

This Week’s Tiny Rebellion  

Challenge: Do only one thing purely because it delights you—not because it’s ‘useful’ or will impress someone. 

For example: Dance in your kitchen to a song that makes your soul expand!

Doodle in the margins of your notebook ‘without’ turning it into a ‘project’.

Say “I don’t know” without apologizing. 

A Mantra for When Doubt Creeps In 

How does this FEEL in your heart & soul?

To Your Greatness,
