You are an entire fucking universe

You are an entire fucking universe.

You have the ability to imagine a reality that does not yet exist.

You have the capacity to inhabit the words of other people and turn them into living, breathing entities.

You create stories that move people to tears, that inspire people to laughter.

You say things that people are too afraid to say.

Your stories inspire people to change their fucking lives and to expand their conception of humanity.

And you do this by showing up, and by risking temporary discomfort, and by paying more attention to the part of your brain that says “this idea needs to be shared with the world” than to the part of your brain that says “this isn’t good enough, this sucks, you should just go back into hiding.”
