So many of us were handed quiet scripts about how we’re supposed to be — based on gender, tradition, or outdated expectations. Be tough. Be agreeable. Be a provider. Be selfless. Achieve success in a particular way.

This short reflection reminds you that questioning those roles isn’t rebellion — it’s self-discovery. You’re allowed to unlearn the rules that never felt true. You’re allowed to explore softness, vulnerability, creativity, and your own definitions of what it means to be whole.

There’s no one way to be enough. You get to decide what fits you now.
