Self-Reliance Isn’t Defiance
Creative Response: My Journey Toward Self-Reliance Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, “Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string” (Self-Reliance). Those words have echoed through the most defining moments of my life, even before I ever read them. To me, self-reliance has never been about arrogance or pride— it’s about integrity, discernment, and the courage to stand firm when conformity feels easier. My journey toward self-reliance has been tested in many ways, but three moments stand out: my time in the Navy when I was stationed in Spain, a church social justice meeting that tested my self-expression, and my decision to trust my intuition during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each moment shaped my understanding that the most sacred voice is the one that rises from within.
