As a woman, sometimes I still struggle with it. But then I remember, I have shit to say. There are things in the world, big things, that I want to change. And if I’m going to do that, I have to be able to stand my ground. And to do that you have to take up space. (2/2)

When I was younger, I hated being tall. Because girls are “supposed to be” petite. Because girls aren’t supposed to take up space. Which is so fucked up, that even as a child I internalized that and tried to make myself as small as possible. (1/2)
