Cages

Some cages don’t have bars. They don’t clang when they close, and they don’t need keys to be locked. They’re made of silent rules, inherited fears, voices from the past, and a thousand “what ifs” that whisper at night. They’re built slowly, one thought at a time—“I can’t,” “I shouldn’t,” “I’m not enough.”

And one day, we wake up and realize we’ve been pacing inside a prison we didn’t even know we built.

But here’s the beautiful truth: if the cage is made of thoughts, then freedom is just one thought away.

The moment you start to question the limits you’ve accepted…
The second you say, “Maybe I can,” instead of “I never will,”
The first time you choose belief over doubt, courage over fear, love over judgment……
That’s when the bars begin to bend.

You don’t have to escape to a mountaintop to be free.
You just have to look in the mirror and say,
“This mind is mine. These thoughts are mine. And I get to choose them now.”

It’s not easy. But it’s powerful.

Freedom is not somewhere out there.
It begins in the quiet space between two thoughts – where you remember who you really are,
before the world told you who you should be.

Break the cage.
One thought at a time.
