Your MUCHNESS makes them UNCOMFORTABLE

For the rest of this life, let your unique journey, your muchness, be more significant than it usually is. Your individuality is a powerful force that can shape your life and the world around you.

In case you haven’t noticed, we live in a world where people are constantly trying to shrink you. They want your muchness to be as small as theirs, and when they aren’t able to reach their goal, they are pissed and ready to watch you drown. They may even try to lead you to deep water so they can push you!

But remember, you are not a victim of their desires. You are a resilient force, standing tall in the face of their attempts to diminish you.

Times Have Changed

Last night, I was talking to my sister, and we discussed how parenting styles have changed since we were kids. We were taught to stay in a child’s place, which means agreeing with adults and not speaking our opinions. 

In other words, “I’m right, and you’re wrong, I’m big, and you’re small, and there’s nothing you can do about it.” ― Roald Dahl, Matilda

What the parents back then didn’t realize was that through their actions, they were diminishing our muchness. This resulted in a generation of kids living life second-guessing themselves and becoming small, trying not to be heard or taking up space.

But that same generation eventually figured out who they were and how much power their voices had. 

Once that realization hit, anger grew because of the past generation. That rage made us raise our kids to be highly educated, not afraid to voice their opinions to anyone and everyone who is speaking to them, and most of all, they are taught to be BIG! 

MUCHNESS

Your muchness is a quality that is filled with creativity and uniqueness. It’s a representation of someone being fully themselves—embracing and expressing all of their traits and attributes.  

This concept encourages us to not just acknowledge, but to celebrate our uniqueness. It’s a call to resist external pressures to conform or shrink our personality, and instead, to boldly express and embrace all that makes us who we are. 

It is crucial that we all recognize and embrace our muchness because we live in a world that would rather diminish our presence rather than uplift it.

So if your muchness makes someone uncomfortable, kick it up a notch!

  14. Thank you very much, Bella! This post just made me realize that I am still trying to cover up my muchness, and even then I feel reactions from others that they want to make me more compliant. For example, I am nearly 70 (1.5 months to go), but I refuse to dress like my peers here in Denmark in the sticks. And I am not cutting my nice long hair into one of these post menopause short cuts that makes everybody look the same.
    But, I still don’t dare to wear my really “exotic” dresses in public, which is stupid. Oh, and I have hardly any gray hair, so I MUST be dyeing it, they say 😉

      3. There is a special unwritten behavioural law in Denmark (and also Sweden), which is called “janteloven”, which says that nobody should think that they are something special. Therefore, nobody wants to stick out. It often happens that Danish artists have to go abroad to be recognized, before they get appreciated at home. This is all so silly …

  18. The way parents treated us was a reflection of the world at large. A world ruled by oppressors who will fire you and make you homeless or lock you in jail for not submitting. Schools that break you and force you to be good servants at your job. You can’t be much, if being much makes you bigger than your employer, teacher or government. Our parents were broken too.

      1. We can also heal by giving our parents grace and forgiving them for the damage they did. Because we are also damaging our own kids. It’s the nature of the world.
