Maybe We Were Never Meant to Be Small

How many of us make ourselves smaller just to fit in? How many of us make ourselves quieter so we do not disturb the room? In this deeply personal reflection, I explore the lessons I learned about visibility, the fear of being "too much," and the journey of stepping out of the shadows to become who I was always meant to be. Perhaps the world does not need a smaller version of us after all—it needs us exactly as we are.
