There will always be something about us that’s “too much” for someone else.

But the parts they call too much are parts that set us apart!

The parts that make us impossible to replace.

They make us who we are.

If we round off our quirks to make others comfortable, we’ll lose our edge.

We’ll lose ourselves.

So let’s stay too much.

Too bold. Too soft, too strong, too sensitive, TOO LOUD.

We weren’t made to be easy to label.

We were made to be impossible to forget.

And sometimes, being too much is too good!
