Take Up Space
Updated: Jun 1, 2022

This quote came from a friend
She was doing a doodle of a sunflower and said these profound words
I wrote them down on a 2x2 squared piece of watercolor paper and stuck it in my shorts pocket
Every time I felt it, I took it out and read it
I asked myself are you brave enough to take up space and be seen
or are you comfortable of shrinking yourself so not to be noticed
I’m ready to not be afraid. I’m ready to take up space.
I’m ready to share, to love and I’m ready to be strong.
One day my story will become someone else’s survival guide.
What about you?
