Burning Beneath

If no one could judge you, praise you, or criticize you—what would you choose to do with your life?”

Would you be good or bad? Would you finally act on those secret desires you’ve buried deep within, the ones you barely admit to yourself?

I want you to pause and think. Not just casually—but really think. What is that one desire, that silent urge, that dark thought or pure intention hidden so deep it feels almost unreal? The one you’ve locked away, telling yourself it’s impossible, wrong, or maybe too good to be true.

Now imagine this: What if you acted on it?

Would it set you free—rip away every chain holding you back and let you finally breathe? Would it awaken a part of you that’s been silently screaming to live?

Or would it crush you under the weight of guilt, shame, regret? Would it build walls so high around you that you’d never escape, trapped by the very thing you thought would save you?

Sit with it. Let it linger.

Because sometimes what we think will free us can just as easily destroy us.

And sometimes… the only way to know is to act.
