“Dear Woman,
Sometimes
You'll just be too much woman.
Too smart,
Too beautiful,
Too strong.
Too much of something.
That makes a man feel like less of a man,
Which will start making you feel like you have to be less of a
woman.
The biggest mistake you can make 
Is removing jewels from your crown
To make it easier for a man to carry.
When this happens, I need you to understand,
You do not need a smaller crown—
You need a man with bigger hands.”
