The Only Question Is: Who Is Directing It ?
There comes a stage in life
where everything seems to be working.
There is rhythm.
There are roles.
There is a routine that holds. And still
something inside knows
it could be sharper.
Not drama.
Not a crisis.
Just a higher level of precision. We don’t wake up and say,
“I’m unhappy with my life.”
Strong women don’t speak that way .What they feel is more subtle:
the script is running
but it’s no longer as precise as it once was.
It Is Built in Layers Over the years,
more lines are added to our lives.
More decisions.
More expectations. From society.
From family.
From our environment.
And sometimes — from our past selves. Most of them aren’t mistakes.
Many of them were smart at the time.
But not all of them are still relevant. That’s how a quiet tension is created:
life looks good,
yet something inside says
it’s time for an edit.
It’s Intelligence In cinema,
no scene is filmed once
and left untouched. There is editing.
Refinement.
A decision about what stays
and what no longer serves the story. In life,
most of us keep running old scenes
because they are familiar.
Safe.
Comfortable. Not because they are right
but because no one taught us
how to pause and choose again.
Is Not a Metaphor
It’s a Position A director doesn’t ask
whether a scene is “fine. ”She asks:
– Is it precise?
– Does it serve the story?
– Is this the character I want to reveal now?This is a position of strength.
Of women who don’t seek permission.
Only clarity.
They Want More More depth.
More choice.
More quiet control. Not more noise.
Not more stimulation.
More presence. They don’t want to dismantle everything.
They want to add another layer
to what already exists. And that requires a different kind of courage:
not the courage to jump
but the courage to pause.
And It’s Waiting for Conscious Direction Life doesn’t need to collapse
for us to listen. Sometimes all it takes
is a moment of silence,
a sharp question,
and an honest look
at the story you are living now. Not from lack.
From power. Because a woman who dares
to think deeply about her life
is already one step ahead.
Some women live inside a script.
Others direct it. The only question is:
which one are you choosing to be?
