Found my theme for this year, a little late, but still relevant.
Freedom.
I'm not talking about the "throw caution to the wind and live in my car" kind of freedom - HA, I would last about 2 days and then I would crumble. No, I am talking about breaking the chains of the constraints I put on myself. And I sincerely mean, the "I put on myself" part. Society does a lot of things to us, mentally and physically but I cannot put the blame on society for the walls I have built around myself. I put up barriers of protection - from criticism, from failure, from being emotional and showing weakness (god forbid ever crying), from frustration/anger and from feeling inadequate or less then.
No way, you are not going to get to me society or anyone else who has doubted me, treated me like shit, broke my heart or said horrible things about me behind my back - cut to me, continuing to build those walls, brick by brick. I have built this fortress that is holding me back from being truly authentic and living my best life.
I have felt this way over the past couple years and know it is of my own doing. I am not going to break them all down, there is still going to be a chain linked fence to let in the air and give me the ability to see everything around me. It may feel like the first time but I know while I was under this protection, I have learned, gotten stronger and know very little is ever going to hold me back.
Any of this feel familiar to you? With all the chapters in your life, has it made you the architect of walls that are closing in on you?
