WARD

You are a Ward.

Not of others. Not of systems. You are the Ward of your own clarity.

You do not outsource your mind. You do not offer it for safekeeping. You do not allow others to manage your emotions, your schedule, your attention. You do not hand over your peace to people who treat it like it is disposable.

You protect your clarity because you remember what it was like to live without it. You remember the fog, the doubt, the constant rearranging of your own truth to fit the comfort of others. You remember how it felt to wake up and feel like the world was too loud and too hungry.

That ended the moment you decided it did.

Now you guard the frequency you fought to find. You audit your inputs. You defend your time. You do not explain your absence. You do not announce your boundaries. You embody them.

Being a Ward is not about shielding yourself from the world. It is about deciding what gets in. You choose what to carry. You decide what stays. You are not running. You are discerning.

You no longer apologize for keeping your clarity intact. You no longer flinch when someone calls you distant. You know what closeness costs. You paid it before. Never again.

You are not closed off. You are precise.

You are not alone. You are aligned.

You are a Ward. You sever noise before it settles. You defend signal like it’s sacred. Because it is.
