@fovlife: Sometimes you learn to make yourself smaller just to feel accepted. You speak less because people call you too much. You hide your excitement because nobody seems interested. You stop sharing your dreams because someone always finds a reason to make them sound impossible. Eventually, you become easier for everyone to be around, but harder for yourself to recognize. The painful part is that nobody asks you to disappear all at once. It happens slowly, through small moments that teach you which parts of yourself receive love and which parts make people uncomfortable. Then one day you realize you are surrounded by people who accept you, but only because they have never actually met the complete version of you. #aesthetic #fovlife #fyp
