If you are someone who is building your empire with your own bare hands —
Your dreams.
Your goals.
Your healing.
Your future.

If you’re doing this without shortcuts,
Without leaning on anyone,
Without relying on luck or being rescued…

Then listen closely.

Because I know what that path feels like.

Everything I’m Building Is Rooted in Me

It is not borrowed.
It is not gifted.
It is earned.

Every piece of growth.
Every drop of confidence.
Every sleepless night I walk through—is mine. And mine alone.

So, I Will Not Choose Love Until Real Love Chooses Me

Not the kind that interrupts my purpose.
Not the kind that asks me to pause, to slow down, to shrink,
To become softer for someone else’s comfort.

I don’t want the kind of love that says,

“You’re working too hard. Take a break for me.”
But secretly means,
“I’m threatened by your ambition.”

I Want a Love That Says:

“Go for it. Fly high. Build what you were born to build.
I’m here, beside you.
Not in your way.
Not behind you.
Right next to you.
Rooted in trust.
Cheering for your rise.”

Because I’m on a mission.
And when you’re on a mission,
There’s no space for someone who only wants love
Without understanding the war you’re fighting.

Love Alone Doesn’t Build Empire

Love alone doesn’t pay bills.
Love doesn’t heal wounds you never asked for.
That’s on me.

So I will not settle just to say I’m settled.
I will not shrink just to make someone stay.
Because I have worked too hard.
I have sacrificed too much.
I have been betrayed, tested, broken.

And Still, I Rose

I have lost parts of myself…
And I still found the courage to meet the woman I am today.

I have found my voice —
And I protect it with fire.

I have earned my peace —
And I guard it like gold.

I have come home to myself —
And I will never rent that space to anyone who can’t honor it.

I don’t want a love that softens my edge.
I want a love that respects the sword I’ve sharpened

I will only surrender to a heart
That is strong enough to stand beside mine.

Not silence it.
Not reshape it.
Not slow it down.
But stand next to it — with pride.

Until Then, I’ll Keep Walking Alone

Not because I am lonely.
But because I am aligned.

And I’d rather be alone and rising
Than entangled and forgotten.

Because I am not half.
I am not unfinished.
I am not waiting.

I am whole.
I am fire.
I am focused.

I am Soniya Ragevan.
And I am already everything I was once searching for. 🤍
