Give People the Space to Be

April 3, 2025

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels… Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

— Steve Jobs

These are the people who inspire me. The ones who are not afraid to be real in a world that rewards pretending. They’re curious. They care. They believe the world can do better—not for what they’ll gain now, but because it should.

And I believe that too.

I grew up in a country where structure was everything. Where anything out of the norm wasn’t just strange—it was wrong. There was always a “right” and a “wrong,” and you didn’t question it. But what if we did?

What if we stopped rewarding conformity and started nurturing authenticity?

What if, instead of asking people to fit in, we gave them the space to be who they already are?

No masks. No edits. No fear.

Because the best gift you can ever give someone—whether you’re their partner, their child, their boss, or their friend—is a safe space to be themselves. No judgment. Just presence.

And maybe, just maybe, when we do that, we’re giving them more than freedom.

We’re giving them the chance to push the boundaries of what’s possible.

That’s how change begins.
