Sorry, 2021

For years I thought I took up too much space. I thought I was too tall, too loud, too smart, too intense. I didn't think that I was allowed to be exactly how I was, and I never thought that other people could have been wrong for wanting me to shrink to a level they could reason with. Through my inadequacy I met my apathy, where I regularly dreamed of what life would be like if I wasn't around. In that moment it made more sense to me to imagine the world without me.
