About This Quote

When I hear the word “rebellion” I think of a small child who is rebelling against their parent. The fact that they are rebelling is saying, “I am not like you, and I do not want to be like you.” But rebellion is more than just an act of defiance or disobedience. Rebellion is an act of taking ownership of your life. It is about giving yourself permission to realize your own dreams, no matter how big they may be.
