Once upon a time, she did.
She let other people’s words become ceilings over places she was meant to soar. She listened to the voices that sounded like concern, like wisdom, like protection… even when they were quietly teaching her to dream smaller.
But somewhere along the way, she learned to unlearn. And then… to learn again. She outgrew the version of herself that needed permission to reach higher. She gracefully grew through the lessons, the disappointments, the doubt, and even the voices of those she loved most.
Because sometimes no one will ever say, “Don’t fly.”
Sometimes it sounds like, “Be realistic.”
“Maybe that’s too much.”
“Are you sure you can handle that?”
“I just don’t want you to get hurt.”
“Maybe you should stay where you’re comfortable.”
And sometimes those words come from the people closest to us. Sometimes they come from strangers. Sometimes they even come from the voice inside our own heads that was shaped by everything we’ve ever been told.
But here is what she finally understood: No human being was given the authority to decide the height of another human being’s flight.
Not even the people who love us. Not even the people who know us best. Not even the people who mean well.
Because love should never require us to become smaller.
And if the Most High did not place a ceiling over the purpose, potential, dreams, and becoming of a human soul… who are we to accept one from anyone else?
So fly.
Unlearn what made you afraid. Relearn what makes you believe. Outgrow every room that requires you to shrink to belong. And whatever you do, don’t confuse someone else’s limitations with your own.
The sky was never the limit. It was only the beginning. Blissful Saturday & Labor Day weekend, beautiful people 🖤
