Things you should not apologize for:
- your body
- your tears (for making someone uncomfortable because they can’t handle a little emotion)
- not knowing something
- your anger (because your anger, as a girl is never legitimate. always cute or feisty or annoying)
- your opinions (or having the audacity to tell the truth about something you know)
- how slow you run
- asking too many questions
- being excited and/or passionate (or not being ‘cool’ or jaded)
Don’t apologize for feeling too much. Don’t apologize for your existence.
I need to remind myself of these more often. I don’t apologize for my opinions, but I do apologize for crying ALL THE TIME. I need to stop.
