On playing small and stepping out of my own cage

I’ve been in a period of hibernation.

But lately I’ve been feeling small. Like I’m settling.

I forgot that I wasn’t actually supposed to be this way.

There is a recurring pattern throughout my life of fitting in… doing what I think others expect of me.

I have been moving from one golden cage to the next from my own free will, the key in my hand as I lock myself in.

I pout and feel sorry for myself, but I am my own captor.

But the beauty of this situation is that all it takes is one swift movement of my hand to unlock that door and I am free.

What’s on the outside is hope. Inspiration. Adventure. Life.
