So many women have internalized the idea that being difficult makes people think less of them, when in my experience the opposite is almost always true. Every single time I have spoken up, voiced what I actually need and refused to shrink the moment in order to be more comfortable for everyone else in the room, I have been approached afterward by people who wanted to know me better. There is no reward waiting for you on the other side of making yourself smaller. People do not love you more for taking up less space, they simply get used to you taking up less space and adjust their expectations accordingly. Every time I have been exactly as audacious as the moment required, it has opened doors rather than closed them and I have made real connections directly because of it rather than in spite of it.

i’ve always had this little guilt at the back of my mind that i couldn’t shouldn’t ask anyone for help - especially career-wise — That if i could not make it by my own, maybe I should dream of less. For years I swallowed this belief that the only virtuous way to succeed is through your blood sweat and tears - asking for help is ‘robbing’ someone else of their rightful place. Now, in retrospect, that guilt is just a repackaged version of my fear of being audacious. Today, I learned from someone who has been in the finance industry for as long as I’ve lived that:

1) The only way to succeed is to ask for help. Promotions, opportunities — one day you’re helping someone, the other someone is returning the favour.

2) You’d know the difference between someone is asking for genuine help and someone piggybacking off of you.

Both of the have gone really far in their career bc they advocate for other people and in turn people does the same for them. Helping someone get an internship, a job, hearing other’s business ideas to help them get a deal made. Its showing up for the community that you’ve spent time with.

I kind of miss the impulsivity that certain spaces used to allow. oh you want a hair cut today? hairdresser in the corner can fit you in before her 2 o’clock. tattoo of a cobra… sure leg or arm? even concerts, back when you could go to the box office thirty mins before any show. not saying these things don’t exist at all, but everything feels booked five months in advance and 10x more expensive

btw you will miss this in 5 or 10 years. memory will smooth these circumstances down like a river stone, and you will find yourself longing for a shade of light or a moment of this particular innocence. you don't know about what happens next, and one day that will be the most alluring thing of all. don't leave it all for nostalgia. have a nice night now, whatever night it happens to be.
