I’m too much? Then find less….

Let me start by saying I have heard this phrase more times than I can count over my lifetime. I’m always told I care too much. I try too hard. I talk too much. I have too much of an attitude. I make too much noise. I sing too much. Literally everything I do is TOO MUCH.

For years I let that bother me. To my core I let it bother me. So, I became less. Less caring. Less noisy. Communicated less. Tried less. Made it a point to become less and somehow lost myself in the process. I turned into a cold hearted bitch. Pushed people away and never looked back. That is until one day a friend of mine looked me dead in the eye and said “if someone tells you you’re too much…. Tell them to find less” Well I live by those words now.

My people know I’m too much and love me for it. I refuse to apologize for being “too much.” If that rubs you the wrong way or you find it off putting then sorry bout ya…. Find less. We live in a world where people are conditioned to seek out “red flags” or flaws in people. Somehow being too caring or trying too hard is seen as a bad thing. I am who I am and although some find it a bad quality I think it’s one of my best. It’s taken me a long time to fully accept who I am and I’m not about to let someone take that away from me.

So if someone ever tells you you’re “too much” go tell them to find less, then tell them to fuck right off. 🖕🏻🖕🏻 Cuz your “too much” is going to be someone’s enough and that’s a beautiful thing.
