I like people feeling like they can be as bright as they want to around me and feel safe so I can be as bright I can around them and feel safe also? I think it’s easier maybe to have spaces where everyone wants everyone to shine 😅❤️ that might be selfish I’m not sure 😆when I’m in spaces where my brightness is too bright I can feel it and it’s like ooof this isn’t my place.. I have a feeling you might say “you are allowed to shine no matter what” and I get that conceptually 😅 Like the pure joy of a human or someone in their passion is just the best thing to witness my heart explodes for them and I almost get second hand joy from it lol I guess my goal would be if my people felt safe to be all of it bright or messy or whatever and that I feel safe to also.
I have been on both sides of this: afraid to bring good news to some (dimming my light), & at other times feeling envious of friends who seemed to be “winning” at life when I felt I invisible. I want to be a cheerleader for others - to extend support & receive it - & can now see that we are all on a unique journey with different times to “bloom”.

Glad it landed
I want this too! I just texted some of my Friends "Question: Do you feel safe sharing your Light with me?"
Such a vulnerable question that only a true friend would ask
