Presence

But listen
You are allowed to take up space
To speak and not explain
To choose and not apologise
To rest without guilt

The world does not collapse when you say no
You are not unkind for drawing a line
You are not selfish for wanting more

There is power in your presence
Even when it is firm
Even when it is loud
Even when it is yours

May, 2025, Oxford Circus, London

What part of you have you been quieting, and is it time to let it speak?

I♥️

  1. Much more than I can admit to the world at this point. I spend a lot of time grieving and howling at the wind cuz i feel powerless to confront the mean forces that confine me from my freedoms.
