they know who they are.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

you laugh, and apologize.
you go on and on about anything on your mind, and apologize.
you give a suggestion, and apologize.
stop.

stop apologizing for being yourself.
stop apologizing for speaking up.
stop apologizing to people that don't deserve it.
stop apologizing and start being fiercely confident like i know you can be.
start.

start laughing as loud as you can manage.
start talking for hours without worrying if the one listening is listening or not.
start spreading your beautiful ideas and if they are not taken then that's a loss for what could've been.

be you, and don't be sorry.
