I am so frigging tired of being asked to be less than I am. Sick and tired of being told that I am too convincing, think too highly of myself, speak too passionately, defend my convictions too vehemently or argue my points too persuasively.
If I am convincing enough, passionate enough and persuasive enough to rattle your convictions, passions and persuasions to a point where you you feel you have to make your insecurities about me – then your convictions, passions and persuasions are weak my friend, and you need to look at them, because then they might not be worth holding on to.
Yes, I am a big person, but I am not big at the expense of others, never, because I know my own size and I take care not to stomp on others. I am who I am. Deal with it for crying out loud! Don’t take your own sense of inadequacy and bad self-confidence out on me. Don’t make your shortcomings and failures about me. Don’t make your insecurities about me. If you feel challenged by me – GOOD! But don’t make it about me.
I know who I am, I know what I am, I know why I am what I am and I am not ashamed of that. So just deal with it, because I am not gonna shrink my breeches because your Mommy can’t sew and you cry about a frozen @ss!
The world is big enough for all of us. So let’s just BE all that we can be and relish how awesome that is!
