Most people do not change because they are loyal to the story of who they have been.
History becomes identity. Reputation becomes prison. Familiarity becomes obligation.
This is not integrity.
It is narrative inertia.
Reinvention is not destruction. It is deliberate discontinuation.
When a woman names what she is no longer available to perform, space opens for what can now emerge. Not dramatically. Quietly. With precision.
The future does not require permission from the past.
Freedom is not escape.
It is authorship over continuity.
