Truthful Sunday “Too Much”

It's another truthful Sunday! Let's start this one off by talking about me finding myself! As I'm typing this, I'm trying to find the words to express myself. It is hard to be vulnerable now, but here we go! I pray this inspires someone! I've had to learn this my whole life, and I'm finally starting to understand it! Growing up, I heard it all "you are too much," "you don't communicate," "you are ego-driven," and "you need to work on yourself." But, trying to find myself, I didn't know how to work on myself, so I let my ego drive my everyday life!

I've heard all those things, and I know I'm not alone! I know you are reading this and have listened to the same thing! But, out of all those, I struggled the most with "you are too much." Hearing that, I put myself in a box and lost myself. As a result, I failed in past relationships, whether dating or friendships. Whatever the case, maybe I felt that expressing my emotions was "Too much." I didn't want to be around others. I wanted to be alone. I would rather be lonely than around others who make me feel like I'm too much by being myself.

Hearing that saying caused me not to communicate because I felt like when I did, I was too much—not expressing how I felt caused more pain for myself in the long run! Not giving myself boundaries drove a world of pain that was unbearable. I lost myself. Finding myself is a process I've been working on my whole life, and it's getting better day in and day out!

Whoever is reading this, I want you to know you are not too much! It's okay to set boundaries; it's okay to express how you feel; it's okay to be yourself and express love to yourself. So letting go of those people who say you are too much is okay!
