Quote by Mary Katherine Backstrom

 

"I love when somebody says about a woman, 'Oh, she's too much. She's too much for me." Too much of what? Too much of an opinion? She laughs too loudly? Stands too tall? Takes up too much space? What would be the right amount and not too much? She'd have to be less. That's what you are saying. You're saying BE LESS, if she's too much. You know what I think? I think she should not give a f*ck about what you think about her." ~ Quote by Mary Katherine Backstrom

 

All the Feels

 

Oh....does this give me all the feels inside. I have been told a lot of things over my life. That I am too loud, too opinionated, can't Biblically submit to my husband because I'm too "Type A." I have been told that no one will ever take me seriously because I ask questions or because my hair is pink (currently purple).

 

Over the course of the last 2 years, I have been told that because of those above traits that I am not a good mom and that I shouldn't raise my children. I should quiet down, conform, be SMALL, be LESS THAN, fit in, don't make waves, SHUT UP.

 

Shrinking

 

So, that is what I have done. I've stayed home. I have shrunk back, slept alot, eaten alot, cried alot, hid, allowed people to walk all over me, speak to me in ways I would never let them before, and so many other things.

 

I think when it truly hit me was when I was getting ready to go on a little day trip to see some family.
