I would like to encourage you to consider a language upgrade in your everyday conversations.
Stop apologizing for how you feel.
How you show up.
How what you express is misunderstood.
How you feel you are taking up too much space.
How you feel you are too much.
How you may feel sad. Or depressed. Or angry. Or frustrated. Or ANYTHING.
You have the right to be human.
You have the right to experience emotions.
You have the right to take up space.
I encourage you to give yourself permission to be all of you.
In this I do not intend to say that if you project, lash out, manipulate, coerce others with your actions or communication that you will not suffer consequences. Accountability is still honest.
But if you are genuinely trying to do the very level best you can and today you believe you are falling short or are feeling too much. There is no need to apologize for anything!
Perfection is in trying your best. Nothing more.
Apologizing to others is an act of self-dismissal. Self-doubt. Self-sabotage even. It is a trauma response for existing and taking up space. For being noticed when you have been conditioned to be seen and not heard. It is also a trauma response from NO ONE allowing you to just be you. Whether as a child or as an adult. Today YOU get to quit watering yourself down and making yourself small. You are allowed and welcome to exist!!!
If that were not true, you would not be here!
I am NOT sorry I am human.
And neither should you be.
Namaste
Drago and Amethyst
