I can’t keep being the little girl who survives on her father’s allowance. As long as I believe I can only live with the minimum, I will accept crumbs. As long as I feel small, I will place myself in small jobs, small lives. But this is not my truth. I already know— I am capable of more, much more. And if I don’t rise for myself, no one will.

No More Crumbs
I can’t keep being the little girl who survives on her father’s allowance. As long as I believe I can only live with the minimum, I will accept crumbs. As long as I feel small, I will place myself in small jobs, small lives. But this is not my truth. I already know— I am capable of more, much more. And if I don’t rise for myself, no one will.
