i know i'm too much.

i'm not insecure about it because a lot can be credited to my upbringing. So people overstep or don't know how to handle, and I've basically got different personas for them. Code-switching, is what it's called? I'm not too little or too much for my loved ones though, because there's no such thing, it's just me!

you're not too much nor not enough.

Besides the basics of being well mannered and respectful to everyone, keep in mind you are not too much nor not enough. NOT ENOUGH : requesting your alone time is not bad demanding respect is not bad refusing to be touched by someone who is not close to you is not bad not sharing your weekend with your coworkers is not bad refusing to give your socials to new people is not bad dressing casual because it feels comfortable is not bad TOO MUCH : asking for an explanation and clear reasons to something/situation is not bad asking your people to remember your birthday is not bad not giving your things (because you are a holder) is not bad being always organized is not bad demanding people to respect the schedule (to not come late) is not bad Sooner or later you will meet people who have the same values as you and you might even find those who will deeply love you for these traits so don't feel bad and embrace your "flaws".

1000% too much all the time

I am very extroverted and open and will talk to anyone at length about anything. I have a very loud clear voice that carries almost too well. I give too much of myself to too many people too often. I will go to a DJ set alone and be the only person dancing, even sober I don’t feel shame or embarrassment to make a fool of myself. Even in preschool, I would go up to the loner kid and make an effort to include them. People often recognize/remember me from school or a job years later and even if I don’t really recall them, they know who I am in an instant. I used to be more insecure about my too-much-ness but now I accept that I am who I am and have learned to love her. My husband is on the exact opposite end of the spectrum in almost every regard and I think that’s why we work so well together and bring each other so much peace. At the risk of seeming like a pick-me, I have attached this photo is of my short-lived foray into the world ballet that I think says a lot about who am I am and was.

city lights from the plane

There's nothing like seeing the city from a plane windows. Sparkling like stars down there. The little people in their little cars and twinkling homes. Feels so bittersweet and human somehow.

staying up late watching rom coms and delivering commentary via text

More specifically, watching your favorite rom com and then your crush's favorite rom com (is there an adult word for crush), back to back at the same time as they are watching them. But instead of the social exhaustion of video calling you just text while you watch them. Even better you guys like each other mutually, so it should be exhilerating, but they cannot and will not be with you so instead it's just a lesson in your terrible self restraint. Exhilerating anyway. Good movies, good conversation. Unbeatable.
