Truth
Hannah Beck I see people around me making themselves smaller making themselves quieter trying to reach just enough, but never too much and I’m angry, angry that the world has pushed us to do this to ourselves angry that I feel guilty about being angry angry that I’ve missed little pieces of richness angry that we’ve been convinced that the most important thing we need to achieve, is giving up the very thing that makes us who we are. We only silence ourselves because that is what the world has taught us. It is not about stopping, It is about beginning. Begin to stand up taller Begin to take up space Begin to feel your anger Begin to allow the anger to leave your mouth. You are not meant to be restrained You are not meant to be tamed You are not meant to be held down. I know the world is doing all of this to you so the first step towards escape is to find your powerful truth, and set it free. You hold the pieces of a revolution inside of you. —scratch that— You are the damn revolution.
