Too Much for Who? Not My Problem.

You know what’s wild? People don’t actually care if you’re “too much.” They care if your freedom reminds them of how little they’ve claimed for themselves. That’s the real problem.

Too loud. Too confident. Too curvy. Too much skin. Too much energy. Too unapologetically into yourself.
Funny how “too much” usually means “not performing shame the way we prefer.”

And honestly? I’m done asking for permission.

The Hypocrisy Is Laughable

Let’s not pretend the same people whispering “that’s not appropriate” aren’t scrolling thirst traps at 1 a.m. or double-tapping every bikini pic their feed throws at them. They want sexy. They just want it controlled, kept on screens, kept for profit, kept for their consumption, not yours.

The second you own that same energy out in the open, without apology, suddenly you’re “crass,” “attention-seeking,” or “desperate.” No. You’re just refusing to shrink.

The Rulebook Was Never for Us

Think about it. Who benefits when we second-guess every outfit, every photo, every curve that isn’t airbrushed?

  • The industries selling us “fixes” for things that were never broken.
  • The insecure who project their shame instead of doing the work.
  • The self-appointed morality police who get off on controlling what they don’t understand.

Meanwhile, where does that leave us? Smaller. Quieter. Safer. Which is exactly where they want us.

What Happens When You Stop Caring?

You start posting the photos. The ones that actually make you feel powerful. You wear the barely-there dress because it feels like a second skin, not because anyone else signed off. You stop hiding curves, scars, or edges and realize how many of those rules were only real because you kept following them.

And yeah, some people will talk. Some will unfollow. Some will gossip.
But guess what?

  • The earth doesn’t crack open.
  • The people who get it, find you faster.
  • And the ones clutching their pearls? They’ll still be peeking through their fingers.

Own It, Or They’ll Own You

Here’s the truth: “too much” is only a problem when it’s used as a leash. The second you cut it, you get to decide. Are you the one taking up space, owning your skin, turning heads without apology? Or the one still letting other people’s hang-ups dictate your life?

No one ever looked back wishing they’d made themselves smaller to avoid a stranger’s opinion.

So wear it. Post it. Move like you know you’re allowed to be seen, because you are.

And if someone has a problem? They can keep scrolling. Or better yet, watch from the sidelines while you live the life they’re too scared to touch.
