The Rebel Manifesto

...for anyone done being digestible

I am not here to be useful before I am worthy.

I am not here to shrink, perform, or edit myself for someone else’s comfort.

I am not here to live by rules I never agreed to.

I am no longer available for hustling for scraps of love, praise, or rest.

I am no longer willing to prove I’m good enough to receive.

I am no longer playing by the old story.

The one that said I had to earn ease.

The one that said joy comes after suffering.

The one that said I had to be the good one, the soft one, the small one.

I am here to reclaim my power.

To take up space,

To say no without apology,

To say yes without justification,

To feel it all - rage, softness, joy, grief - and still be whole.

I am here to choose myself - fully, finally, fiercely.

To create what I long for.

To live on purpose.

To receive so much more than I was taught I deserved.

I am worthy now.

I am allowed now.

I am enough now.

Not because I checked a box,

Not because I have a certificate,

But because I’m alive, and that is reason enough.

I get to change.

I get to grow.

I get to take up space in this world as the messy, magical, multidimensional being that I am.

I am not here to be understood by everyone.

I am here to be free.

And if that freedom triggers people?

Let it.

Because I am not available for a life that demands I betray myself to belong.

I am the Rebel.

The soft disruptor.

The sacred weirdo.

The fierce receiver.

The magic-maker.

The one who said: "No more waiting. I’m already enough."

And I choose to live like it - starting now.

I wrote my own manifesto a bit more detailed - but this is a version that you can use, and change to your liking.

I love embodying even more powerful versions of myself, the more I grow and learn. :)

Yesterday was a powerful day - of conversation, reclamation, healing and embodiment. And I couldn't sleep this night - woke up a 3am, and sat and wrote my journal until 5am, because my brain was working so hard to integrate.

Exciting stuff!
