Sometimes the world makes me feel like I take up too much of that space though.

It would be great if we could just all exist like this. It’s such a lovely image.

This touched me the most. It is an everyday struggle for me to be ok with existing and taking up space. I have been called out for just taking space crossing a street on a beautiful sunny day. I was made to hate my space and existence from constant bullying from my own grandmother. I hope that this constant hate of space and existence of beautiful people will end and we will all love one another.
