Welcome. I'm so glad you're here. There's a full-strength version of you, and there's the one you serve to most people— watered down, easier to take. Less of whatever you are. And it isn't only the hard things you dilute. It's the enthusiasm, the odd interest nobody else has, the way you actually laugh, the thing you love that you've learned to mention casually so it doesn't seem like it matters that much. Here's what dilution costs, and it's quiet, so it's easy to miss. When people only ever meet the watered-down version, That's the version they love. And then you're lonely in rooms full of people who care about you. Please take a breath in as you bring in the awareness that you can't be met at a strength you never showed up at.
Hold.
