"if you're feeling small today, i dare you to sit up straighter,
look someone who scares you directly in the eye, take up
room at the dinner table, make yourself bigger. when 'sorry'
laps at the back of your tongue, tries to pick up after you, remind
yourself that your existence does not demand an apology.
you are allowed to make a mess and take up space, do not be afraid to expand.
every single gosh darn minute- expand, expand, expand."
