About

Freedom: The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.

Hello.

I thought it’d be a good idea to clarify the meaning behind the blog name Ripped Jeans Journey.

While I do love my ripped jeans, the blog name stands for something beyond distressed denim. For me, it’s a metaphor for freedom – freedom from the 9 to 5, freedom from dress codes, freedom from rules being imposed on me.

I have a dream for my life that is probably similar to yours.

I dream of having the freedom to live my life on my own terms.

I don’t know how, but that is the dream.

The freedom that I speak of isn’t wholly external.

That’s where this blog comes in.

Through Ripped Jeans Journey, I hope to develop my voice, to create, and to learn how to feel untethered on the inside.
