The Weight of Inheritance

We are born into stories that began long before us. Family myths, cultural expectations, and unspoken rules form the script we live by before we ever choose it. Some of these stories carry wisdom, but many carry wounds.

Inheritance is not always money or land — it can be silence, shame, and duty. These invisible legacies weigh heavy, shaping how we see ourselves and what we believe we are allowed to become.

To name what we’ve inherited is to begin breaking its hold. When we see clearly, we can decide: What will I keep, and what will I burn? In that choice lies the beginning of freedom.
