A Wren Says

Yesterday, was the July 4^th, the day we celebrate independence in the states. So, what day will you celebrate yours?

What is going to be the moment, your turning point, that you mark as the time you finally let yourself become free? I don’t mean when did you move out of your parents’ home or reach financial independence. When did you finally break free from caring so much about the opinions of others?

When did you decide that you would take control of your own path, despite what everyone else around you had in mind?

When did you decide to take the actions to improve your health, even if it meant you would no longer fit in?

When did you choose to finally speak up, as the lone voice of reason, even though it would be an unpopular opinion?

 When did you choose to live your own life freely, instead of being tethered to, “But what would they think?”

You can celebrate that moment, but it won’t be the end. Like most independence day celebrations, it will likely require a battle before you are finally free. You will have to fight the mindsets that try to keep you bound. So struggle, actively struggle until you reach victory. Freedom is on the other side.
