LETTERS TO MY PRESENT SELF: PART 3

--

My natural element!

Dear Boba,

You are allowed to take up space. Own who you are and what you want for yourself. Stop downplaying the things you care about, the hopes you have.

Own your passions, your thoughts, your perceptions. Own your fire. Stop putting your worth in the hands of others; stop letting them decide your value. Own saying no, saying yes. Own your mood and your feelings. Own your plans, your path, and your success. Never back down from expressing yourself, from saying your name proudly. Never stop elbowing your damn way into this big world because you belong here. You matter.

B.
