Don’t think about what it would take for you to say these things

That’s not empathy. I’m not like you. It’s ok that we’re not like one another. 

I’m going to figure out how to let myself be me. As is.

I’m not this way because I was hurt. I’m simply a person. This is me letting go of all that unnecessary weight. All the stories that try to teach you how to be a female human.
