#useyourand

They said you can be anything, a beautiful astronaut, a soccer playing ballerina, a superstar. The said here's what you really are, with a label to size you up and box in, if you let it. Don't. step outside that box and forget it. If someone labels you this or that use your and to make a stand. With your legs and your voice and your head and your heart. If someone says your pretty say yes and. If someone says your smart say yes and. Help them understand. With your polished nails and a polished mind. Raw and refined. Shy and bold, not just what you're told. You are warmth and wisdom and grace and guts. No ifs. No buts. Just ands.
