Taking Up Space

While many people like celebrating their birthday with their friends and family, I’m very reluctant to invite everyone and throw a party. Because most of the time, I don’t like to be the center of attention.

Interestingly, I find it super delightful to give someone else the gift of my attention for an entire day. I don’t mind others being the center, like when one of my flatmates insisted on celebrating a full birth month instead of just one day.

For a change, I want to experiment with taking up more space this month. I’ve got this idea at a festival, where I’ve met someone who was struggling with the same thing and just pretended to be different for a week.

To prepare for my experiment, I’ve asked myself a few questions that I’ve included for you below. Whether you’re struggling with taking up space or it’s your default state, have fun!
