Transcript: Hello my friends, this is a relationship reminder for any kind of relationship: romantic, platonic, familial, all of them. If they make you feel like you are too much, if they put you down, if they tell you they don’t know how to handle you being so confident, if they act off with you for no reason when you’re in a good mood, if they remind you of your trauma – not to help you but to drag you back down, if they create instability, if they thrive when you are small but get uncomfortable when you are big: girl, run. That is not someone you need in your life. There are some people – through no fault of their own, through their own trauma, their own life experiences – who can only be comfortable with people who feel small. You deserve to be big, and anyone who is holding you back from being that, they are not meant to stick around. We do not tolerate people who need you to be smaller so that they can feel bigger. We grow into our biggest selves, and we don’t let people hold us back. Even if they call it love. We love ourselves enough to leave.
