Rooted in Freedom: The Story Behind the Words

I was born somewhere else than the USA.
Raised between languages, cultures, lands.
But America… America was the first place I chose.
Not just to visit — but to live, to learn, to become.

There’s something raw and unpolished in the American spirit that I fell in love with.
Not perfection.
But potential.

The kind of freedom that doesn't arrive dressed in certainty —
but one that dares you to dream big, fail, and rise again.

It was in the U.S. that I learned I could reinvent myself. That I could walk into a café with an idea and walk out with a plan.

It’s a place where ideas matter more than lineage, where kindness is a currency,
and where resilience is a badge of honor.

Yes, America has its wounds.
Its contradictions. Its suffering. 
Its history tangled in both pain and hope.
But like its people —
it keeps trying and keeps the faith of a better tomorrow.

And that's what I love most:
the relentless pursuit of something better.
Of justice. Of truth. Of freedom with roots.

That’s what these words mean to me:
Rooted in Freedom.

Not a slogan.
Nor a prayer.
Nor a fashion.
It's a memory of what called me here —
and what I still believe is possible.

Because true freedom isn’t about escaping your roots.
It’s about knowing who you are,
standing tall and free,
and choosing — every day —
to grow in the direction of what really matters and being consciously free.
