SHErmon from Amy Ferris

A little Wednesday SHErmon for all of us humans who believe we need to shrink or cower or make ourselves small for someone else to be big or seen or visible; for those of us who allow others to take up more space thinking we’re being generous & kind when in truth we are being nice & yes, dare I say a bit fearful, for those of us who believe we are less than when in truth we are fucking epic and much more; we are so much more.

This post is for all the humans, every single one, who need to know that their lives are massive, huge, fierce as all mighty fuck.

The list of #NoMore
No more:

  • Taking shit from anyone.
  • Letting others cut ahead in line & in life.
  • Being a doormat, a punching bag.
  • Berating your life.
  • Belittling your life.
  • Begrudging your life.
  • Bemoaning your life.
  • Stepping aside, standing in the background, standing off to the side.
  • Putting your glorious sexy messy life on hold.
  • Selling yourself short.
  • Accepting less than.
  • Giving away the goods & the goodie bag.
  • Letting others take what is rightfully yours.
  • Believing the ‘blood is thicker than water’ bullshit.
  • Believing you’re not enough.
  • Carrying the burden of someone else’s shame & guilt.
  • Allowing someone else’s abuse, cruelty to define you.
  • Accepting crumbs.
  • Living someone else’s version of the life you want to live.
  • Believing all the bad awful ugly shit someone else says about you so they can feel taller and bigger and more powerful. Fuck that shit.
  • Letting the bullies win.
  • Living in the closet.
  • Staying small.
  • Staying invisible.
  • Staying put.
  • Staying silent.

Wearing clothes that don’t fit, shoes that are too tight, sweaters with moth eaten holes, jeans that no longer zip, tee-shirts with stains, panties that are torn and frayed, bras with underwires, boxer shorts with no elasticity, tattoos filled with hate; no more being uncomfortable in your own skin.

Believing your flaws and your fuck ups and your foibles and all your mistakes are who you are, and not how far you’ve come.
