Agency

Agency is knowing
you are not just carried by life—
you are participating in it.

It’s the moment you realise
you have a say.
In your choices.
In your boundaries.
In how you respond,
even when circumstances are hard.

Agency doesn’t mean control over everything.
It means ownership of yourself.
Your voice.
Your direction.

Sometimes agency is loud—
a clear decision,
a firm no,
a brave yes.

Other times it’s quiet—
resting when the world says push,
stepping back instead of explaining,
choosing yourself without applause.

Agency is power reclaimed.
Not borrowed.
Not granted.
Remembered.
