I am Defined

“I am defined

By the way I see the world

Not the way

That it will see me

As I see

This world as boundless

I see myself as free.”

Some truths aren’t handed to us from birth; we must grow into them through the lessons of living.

The world around you will always have its opinions, its labels, its projections. That is mostly a cacophony of other people's sound. It is the way you perceive the meaning of life, the way you interpret your path, your purpose, your place in this vast, miraculous existence, that shapes who you truly are.

It is the way you show up with peace in tumultuous spaces, the way you bring ease to the wary and worn; it is the way you shine on even in your darkest hours.

When you start seeing the world as expansive, curious, alive, and full of potential to learn, something shifts. Your sense of self opens with it. You can stop shrinking to fit within old versions of yourself, or the expectations and narratives of others, and start growing into the version you were genuinely meant to be.

This is your self-actualized permission to see differently than other people's perceptions, not to avoid the mirror of accountable reflection; but rather to give yourself the right to define yourself from the inside-out. To choose boundlessness over limitation, presence over pressure, freedom over fear.
