You're Not Small...

You’re not small. You’re just… diminished.

There’s a difference.

Some people — I won’t name them; you already did that in your head — have a talent for making you feel like you take up too much space while simultaneously expecting you to carry the entire emotional weight of the room.

Impressive, really. A skill set.

And after a while, you start thinking you’re the problem. You start folding yourself like a fitted sheet, hoping someone will finally say,

“Wow, look at you, all compact and manageable.”

They never do.

Because the goal was never for you to be “better.” The goal was for you to be smaller.

Not physically. Not literally. Just… energetically. Conveniently. Quietly.

But here’s the thing: You were never small. You were just standing next to someone who needed you to believe that.

And honestly? That’s not your ministry anymore.

So yes — drink from the mug. The one that reminds you you’re not the issue. The one that says the part you’ve been too polite to say out loud.

You’re not small. You’re just done shrinking.
