Spiritual Freedom

Most people just follow the herd. 🐑 And then there are those who mistake rebellion for freedom. 🔥
But true freedom lies beyond both conformity and rebellion.
It's the freedom to follow your heart. To do what feels right to you... without needing validation or feeling the need to oppose the world — while, of course, abiding by the laws of the land so you don't end up in jail! 😄
For the longest time, I held on to my maiden name because I believed that was the "empowered" choice for a woman. And then I grew up... and realized there's nothing inherently right or wrong about any of it.
If I want to keep my maiden name, I will.
If I want to use my married name, I will.
If I choose to take on a pen name or a spiritual name, I will do that too.
That's spiritual freedom.
Following my heart without worrying about what the world thinks. ✨
