You used to be fearless.

You stood up to giants.

Stood up for what was right.

Expressed yourself honestly.

You believed you could do anything.

Every day was an adventure. You created music, built empires, and painted your dreams. You didn’t sleep until you were made to.

But you got worn down. Every day was a battle just to be yourself. You were told it was wrong to be you. You were told to be somebody else; that you were unlovable as you are. You were told that you were “too much”, and at the same time, that you weren’t enough.

You faced less conflict, but life became bleak. You dimmed your light and your world got dark. The anger was gone - but so was the joy, passion, and enthusiasm.

You chose to follow instead of lead, sacrificing authenticity for approval. You smothered your fire and became a supporting character to everyone else’s movie instead of starring in your own.

You learned to be who people wanted you to be. You’d grown up with the message that there was something wrong with you, so you put on a friendly façade.

You abandoned yourself completely. You moved through life like a ghost - job to job, person to person, never feeling fulfilled. Didn’t know who you were or what you wanted. The days became just something to get through, and life - something to be endured.

You’ve prioritized comfort and convenience over courage.

You’ve wasted precious time and energy that you’ll never get back.

You’ve pretended to be somebody that you’re not.

But the fire inside, although faint, flickered on.

You decided that life is too short, and too precious.

Breathe life back into your embers and set your soul on fire.

What if life felt fun again?

What if you could quit living in fear, and feel alive again?

What if you could be free?

You could take your power back.

You could reclaim your time.

Reclaim your energy.

  Spend more time doing the things you love and less time doing the things you don’t.

Say what you mean, and feel how you feel.

You could value yourself.

You could express yourself.

You could accept yourself.

Exactly as you are.
