Being the person that always speaks up is so exhausting. Not just because you have to always put yourself out there, but the ppl who watch from the comfort zone end up benefiting.
Ppl who choose to stay silent about issues in spaces where it counts but then turn into Don Lemon in private can go to hell. My entire life, I’ve been labeled as a big mouth for saying what everyone is thinking. I end up being labled as a problem or complicated.
It happens in every space im in. But guess what, im not a bitch and i ALWAYS advocate for the underdog. And a lot of ppl can’t look in the mirror and say that.
