“CHAINED BY CHOICE”
A newsletter with its own voice, focused on awakening awareness, fostering independence and severing the chains of convenient ignorance.
“My cage was invisible… But I felt it every day.”
We are modern slaves, dressed well and smiling. Slaves of a system that rewards our obedience with just enough to survive, and distracts us with glowing scenes and the illusion of progress. I used to think I was free because I chose where to work, what clothes to wear, what phone to buy. But slowly, I realized that every step I took was inside a path already traced for me. They taught me to dream safely, to not question too much, to keep moving even if it didn’t make sense. And I obeyed. I gave away my hours, my energy, and sometimes my essence, just to belong to something I didn’t even believe in. It was in the silence of exhaustion, at night, when I started hearing that small voice telling me: this can’t be everything. That voice is what brought me here.
 | It was in the alarm clock that dragged me out of bed, in the uniform of tasks I didn’t choose, in the paycheck that barely kept my dreams alive. I smiled, yes. I laughed with coworkers. I said “I’m fine” when someone asked. But deep down, I felt trapped. Not by chains, but by expectations. Not by walls, but by the fear of breaking the routine. It took me years to accept that my discomfort was valid, that living for weekends and surviving weekdays wasn’t life. Now, I see others still trapped, walking fast with their heads down, afraid to stop and ask: what do I really want? This space is for them too, for those who feel something’s off but don’t know what yet. For those who are ready to WAKE UP ! |
They told us we were free. They dressed us well. But in the stillness of the day, between meetings and repetitive tasks, something inside whispers. And that whisper… is the thread that binds us.
