We’ve all had that friend that’s says “You should stand up for yourself”, or maybe you’re that friend. Either way, what does it actually mean? Does it mean fighting back and acting tough? Does it mean you should always share your truth?

And that definition is changing every day and it’s always going to evolve. So, I think just being open minded to other people and feeling comfortable in their skin and allowing them to exist in that, just like I allow myself to exist in my skin.
