Take up space.
Unapologetically.
Undeniably.
No shrinking allowed.
Own your brilliance and beauty.
Try as they may to ignore your presence,
Your passion will radiate.
Ignore the false labels and accusations.
Your success is the true narrative.
Bloom any way.
Bloom in a way that is uniquely you.
Always and in all ways.
