Unbecoming The Box

“Unbecoming the Box” 

The world—and often religion—hands us a box early on.

Labeled. Measured. Tied up with expectations we never agreed to.

We are taught to shrink into it, to mute the colors that don’t match its palette.

So we start masking.

We perform. We polish. We fight to fit, or fight to break free.

But in both, we are still dancing around the box.

We think healing is about fixing what’s broken.

But sometimes, healing is simply seeing that we were never broken to begin with—

just burdened by beliefs that weren’t ours.

We begin to awaken.

We realize that every gift comes with a cross to bear.

The light draws shadows.

Joy and sorrow, creation and collapse—yin and yang—are forever entwined.

To carry light is to understand darkness intimately.

And then something deeper unfolds:

We are not meant to perform wholeness.

We are meant to embody it—through authenticity, not perfection.

The authentication process isn’t about becoming more—it’s about unbecoming everything the world told us we had to be.

Peeling off the layers.

Dismantling the lies.

Looking into the mirror and not flinching at the scars, the cracks, the chaos.

Because within the shattered glass is reflection.

Within the wounds are wisdom.

Within the lies we’ve been told is the truth we now choose.

This is not rebellion.

This is resurrection.

A return to the self before the world whispered its fear into your soul.

You are not too much.

You are not too broken.

You are becoming—by unbecoming.
