If you’re like me, you are also struggling with taking up space. In conversations with other people, in groups, maybe even physically in public places. With the questions below I hope to help you learn more about what it means to take up space. This video by my favorite musicians sums up why I think it’s a good idea to be honest with your space, and to not make yourself smaller than you are.
