21 Merida

I am a Scottish princess. My mother wanted me to marry and behave as befits a lady. But I had other plans, and I didn't care about finding a husband. I love practicing archery or sword fighting, riding horses through the highlands. I love my freedom. An evil witch turned my mother into a bear for a time. But strangely, this entire adventure helped us understand each other better.

No matter who they want you to be, you are not obligated to live according to their plans and rules. Even if they mean well. Your freedom must speak first. You are who you are, and that is absolutely normal. Don't try to fit in, don't deny yourself—it won't lead to anything good. The path won't always be easy, but it's the only one that can lead you to serenity. Trust my word and don't try to meet others' expectations. Be your own and only ruler.
