And it's so sad because that strength that we have doesn't have to be subdued.

It could be harnessed more intelligently than this.

Yeah, I changed a lot.

I was definitely shy.

I was someone who didn't believe that my life had any value.

I'm not confident in all of the ways

I just don't believe that it is my job to be perfect.

And I don't believe it is my job to be right all of the time.

And I don't believe it is my job to please everyone or be approved of by everyone.

I think I just have quite a sturdy sense of self in which I accept myself.

I'm not I'm always you know I'm always a work in progress but I don't feel this responsibility that I've been bred with to to have everyone to meet everyone's needs and to match everyone's individual tastes and I think it's this bizarre bonkers thing that we put on girls in such a young age.

To be palatable.

I don't think it's my job to be palatable.

Some people like, you know, my vibe and some people don't.

And I think that's great.

And I think that's fine because really what it was for me, if you want to know that liberated me, was realizing how many people I dislike.

And when you realize how many people you find fucking boring, like there's certain people that I love and I adore.

And as long as they love and adore me back, then I know I'm doing a good job.

But I don't seek the approval of anyone who I don't respect, whose life I don't consider a model for what I want.

I'll listen to other people's feedback and I take it on board and I've definitely learned and grown from it.
