Respectfully, f*ck that.

We are supposed to be small. Be quiet. Do all the things for all the people with a smile on our faces and never ask for recognition. Respectfully...f*ck that.

Consider this a friendly reminder to take up space, to speak up for the things that matter to you, and be your own biggest advocate. You're AMAZING, and you don't have to wait for anyone else to shout out your accomplishments. And the next time someone tells you that you did something remarkable, put a smile on your face and respond "you're damn right I did!"
