"Embracing Your True Self"

"How many times have you been told what to wear… what to want… and even what to dream?"

"Sometimes it starts with the smallest things— an anklet you hide, a nose ring you

remove, a trip you cancel, a hobby you never try… because someone said it’s ‘not for

girls,’ or ‘not for your age,’ or ‘not appropriate.’ And you listen. You shrink.

You let the world decide how loud your dreams are allowed to be. They tell you what

your body should look like, what clothes your shape deserves, what freedom you

should ask permission for. And when you dare to question it… they ask,

‘Who are you to question us?’ But deep down, you know exactly who you are.
