The Free Woman

 

Symbol: The Unlocked Flame
A flame rising above an open lock, or hovering freely without boundary.
It doesn’t escape. It belongs to no one but her.

​​

​

She didn’t settle.
She didn’t perform.

​

She didn’t soften her edge just to be understood.
She didn’t cut pieces of herself off to be kept.

​

She chose freedom.
And then kept choosing it.

​

Not because she’s unlovable.
But because she knows what it means to be un-owned.

​

She’s not hardened.
She’s not lost.
She’s not "still searching.”

​

She’s living.

​

She might want partnership.
She might not.
But either way, she’ll never trade her fire for a seat at someone else’s table.

​

She doesn’t need to be rescued.
She needs to be recognized.

​

You are not “too much.”
You are not too independent.
You are not difficult.

​

You are free.
And any love that finds you now has to know what to do with all that sky.
