Michaela Ruth's Muse Reclaimed: I AM THE MUSE AND THE MAKER

❁2025-05-06❁

The quote "I AM NOT A MUSE", it caught my eye in a breathtaking way. It made me instantly question what the quote meant. What does it mean to be a muse? What does it mean to be a person who holds themselves to the expectations that the people around them have put on them. Muse. Some days I want to be the muse. Other days I want to be the maker. Making my own ideas and letting them flow, letting them spill. Nina Simone type shit. Being both a muse and a maker just makes me want to rebel against all odds. It makes me want to take matters into my own hands. Taking back my power. I'm not weak. I maybe quiet and soft spoken but you bet your ass I'm a fucking force of nature. I'm that girl because I said so. Not what Instagram tells me. Not what other people have to say about me. I'm that girl because I've decided that's who I'm going to be. I AM SHE. I AM HER. I know how I feel because it's a new dawn and a new day. Try me mother. This is my blog. This is my damn space and I can write about whatever the hell I want to write about. I maybe this girl that people think is so polished and poised, but girl I can get really fucking messy and BOLD and Expressive. I'm like a walking oxymoron. I'm not afraid. I may cry but then I boss the fuck up and do what needs to be done. I AM THAT GIRL. I'M ONE OF A KIND. THERE IS NO ONE LIKE MICHAELA RUTH MCLEOD. Point. Blank. Period. I have the freedom to be me. No one can block my creativity or take away my fucking voice. I have a voice and this is where I shall use it. Whether you like or it not. This is the real me. All of me. The messy parts. The parts that don't make sense. The soft parts. The hard parts. This is me. This is Michaela. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. I'll be damned if I let someone ever shame me for being myself. You are unhappy and miserable and probably afraid. This is my page. This is my power. No one can fucking block this or ignore this. IT'S HERE. SHE'S HERE. SHE'S BACK AND SHE'S MAKING NOISE. MICHAELA RUTH'S MUSE BITCH. REBELLION. FLOURISH. PRIDE. MAGNIFY. GLOW. SHINE. RADIATE. TRANSFORM. MOODY. BRATTY. PEACE. LIGHT. HARMONY. LIGHT. SHED. BREAK. BLOW. FRAGMENT. SPACE. TIME. ART. ART. ART.
