🎧 The Song That Found Me
A chance encounter with a song during a TV show finale sparked a deeper reflection on identity, growth, and becoming
Dear Duniyawaalo (People of theWorld),
I was watching the series finale of Suits: LA when it happened.
The episode was winding down, characters tying loose ends, and just as the final scene faded into black… a song started playing.
At first, it was the rhythm that caught me.
Then the lyrics.
Then something deeper.
It was Freedom by Pharrell Williams.
I had heard the name before, but never paid attention. That night, something told me to listen to the full version. I did. Then I listened again. And again.
This time, not just with my ears.
With my life.
What the Song Reminded Me
“Your first name is Free / Last name is Dom.”
That line stopped me. It felt personal.
It reminded me that freedom is not about circumstances. It is about claiming your right to exist fully.
To move through the world on your terms.
To think.
To breathe.
To dream, without shame.
The song does not preach.
It does not shout.
But it stirred something inside.
Why It Hit Me Now
Maybe it is because I am in a phase of life when I am deeply reflecting on past struggles, personal growth, and what it means to live with intention.
I have gone through my own version of being chained.
Chained to expectations, to guilt, to self-doubt.
But I have also learned how to walk free.
Through mindfulness.
Through movement.
Through self-awareness.
And yes, sometimes through music.
Freedom is not a destination.
It is a mindset.
A posture of the heart.
The Power of Art in Unexpected Places
I did not expect to find something so meaningful while watching a legal drama spin-off.
But that is the beauty of stories and songs.
They sneak up on you.
They reach the parts of you that are ready.
Freedom by Pharrell Williams did not just entertain me. It nudged me.
It reminded me who I am and who I am still becoming.
So I am sharing it here.
In case it reaches you too.
If this song speaks to you, too, I would love to hear what it stirred in you.
