“The world is not lighter without you — it is missing a note in its song.”
When you were young, did you learn to take up less space? To be low-maintenance? To swallow your hunger — emotional or otherwise?
That conditioning runs deep. But it is not truth. You are not extra. You are essential.
The universe does not birth beings it cannot carry. There is space for your needs. Your tears. Your wanting. You are not too much. You are just enough — exactly as you are.
Abundance begins when you stop apologizing for existing. The moment you let yourself matter, everything softens. Doors open. People show up. Not because you begged — but because you finally believed you belonged.
Close your eyes and whisper: 'I am not too much.' Breathe slowly. Let each breath be proof that you are allowed to be here, fully.
Ask for one small thing today — help, time, space, or tenderness. Let someone show you that your needs are welcome.

You do not have to disappear to be loved.
