Have you ever felt free?
Not situationally. Not temporarily.
But spirit-level, soul-deep free.
The kind of freedom where the weight of life—
regret, fear, uncertainty, comparison, grief,
doesn’t live inside you anymore.
Where that constant undercurrent of dissatisfaction fades.
Where avoidance loosens its grip.
Where inaction dissolves.
Where the need to prove something finally goes quiet.
I never had.
Not once.
Not ever.
Until now.
It doesn’t mean my life is without stressors.
There are still responsibilities.
Still goals I want to reach.
Still things I’m building.
Actively creating.
But internally—right now—I feel completely free.
Free.
Excited.
Happy.
Joyful.
Ambitious.
Driven.
Loved.
Wanted.
In tune with the magic.
In rhythm with possibility.
Aware—deeply—of my own divinity.
