I am Unbound

Prompt: If you had to write a tagline or mission statement for the person you’re becoming, what would it say?

There was a time when I thought freedom meant learning to live inside the life I was given—adapting, making the best of things, shrinking myself to fit. I softened my edges, quieted my voice, made myself small so I wouldn’t take up too much space.

But the truth is, I was never meant to fit inside anyone else’s expectations.

I was meant to be unbound.

And now, more than ever, untaming isn’t just personal—it’s necessary.

We are living in a time when control is tightening, when women’s autonomy is under siege, when the world demands we be smaller, quieter, easier to swallow. The pressure to conform—to be digestible, unthreatening, obedient—has never been stronger.

But I refuse.

I refuse to apologize for my existence. I refuse to bend myself into something I was never meant to be. I refuse to trade my freedom for acceptance.

This isn’t about becoming someone new. This is about returning to the woman I was always meant to be. The one who trusts herself. The one who chooses her own path. The one who stands firm, unshaken, unafraid.

I am untaming. I am unbound. I am building a life that belongs to me.

And I will never go back.
