"I deserve better ... such a dangerous,
mad thought for a woman to entertain."
Meredith Duran
When we are raised to believe we are of no worth and do not have needs, we have a tendency to be lesser than we were intended. We are born with a brilliance that is often snuffed out, leaving us dependent upon the expectations of others.
Thus the challenge of life, to strive to recapture the light that once shined so brightly. With this light, our perspectives change, our lenses are washed, and our sense of self is restored. We realize the stories we hear belong to other travelers, not necessarily how we will journey through life.
We each have a path to follow, a cross to bare and the need to unveil our authenticity. Our vision leads us forward while others ask, "Who do you think you are?" We will not be deterred as we do not seek fortunes, but the equality of life itself. It is not that I deserve better, but I can be better!
