you’re not asking for too much, they’re just not the right one

if only 16 year old me could see she wasn’t too much, or too loud or too obnoxious—she was just asking the wrong people to see her. so lucky to have this little love and wouldn’t change it for the world. #wlw #lgbtq

3/19 Edited to

Looking back, I often wished I could tell my younger self that being loud, expressive, or emotionally intense isn’t a flaw. It’s simply a sign that you need to find the right people who appreciate you for who you truly are. One of the hardest lessons in life is realizing you’re not too much—you're just giving your love and energy in the wrong places. For those navigating identity within the #LGBTQ and #WLW communities, this can be especially challenging. Society often imposes pressures to tone down or hide parts of ourselves to fit in or be accepted. But true connection happens when you are unapologetically you. If only my 16-year-old self could see how easy it is for someone who truly loves and understands you to choose to love you exactly as you are. It changes everything. In my experience, it’s vital to cultivate environments where self-expression is welcomed and celebrated. Finding support groups, online communities, or friendships that affirm your identity can provide a life-changing sense of belonging. Remember, seeking acceptance is not asking for too much—it’s your right. When you stop trying to bend yourself for the wrong people and instead invest in those who see your full worth, life becomes richer and more joyful. I encourage anyone feeling unseen or misunderstood to keep faith in the possibility of authentic love and acceptance. Your true tribe will welcome your voice, your spirit, and your whole heart without hesitation. Remember: you are enough, and love should never ask you to be less than your true self.
