Love this: “Our dimming our lights isn’t going to make anyone else’s light brighter.”

So good Kelsey!! This resonates with old me. 😓It took a long time to shine. I was always hesitant to take up space because I didn’t want to lose a connection with someone. If I as less than, then they could feel better about themselves around me. 🫣🙄🙄 I do not do that at all anymore but this internal mindset took years to correct.

Thanks for your essay. And I love the title!!🥰🥰🥰🦄 officially slapped 😅😘

Yes to this: “Our dimming our lights isn’t going to make anyone else’s light brighter.”

After receiving “a unicorn bitch slap” myself last night - re-reading this line this morning helped me turn the lights back on. And I’m upping the wattage, baby!

Loved this, Kelsey! I've felt similar, and sometimes fall back into dimming my light. I always tell myself that when I shine, others may be inspired to shine brighter. Thank you for sharing this with us ❤️☀️🌟

As MGs, we have the biggest energy so we definitely have a tendency to tone ourselves down to try to make others more comfortable. BUT their ability to handle our energy has nothing to do with us; it’s their job! Keep shining bright, Kaitlyn! I love your sparkle ✨
