Reddit-Style Confessionals: “When I Felt the Most Untamed”

Untamed. What does that even mean? The word can mean different things for different people. The meaning of the word Untamed is to be free and wild. Free of the things that hold you back. Free from staying silent. Free from living small. Free from politeness. 

An Untamed woman is someone who is the strong friend of the group. She is the one who does it all: professional, mother, partner, friend, provider, peacemaker, and supporter. She knows who she is.

She is the one trying to break that cycle for herself so she can have more and be more. She wants to feel free from the limitations. She wants to do something for herself. She wants to reconnect with herself, her mind, her body, and her soul. She wants to be able to feel weak and not always be strong for everyone. She wants to be Untamed.

I feel the most Untamed when I am on the dance floor. I feel free of all things going on in my life. I feel sexy, smart, emotional, and myself.

When I am on the dance floor, I owe no one anything. I don’t have to hold anyone's hand, feel anyone else's emotions, or listen to anyone’s troubles. I feel my own emotions, and I let them out on the dance floor. I feel true to myself. 

When I am on the dance floor, I am happy. I can be unapologetically me without anyone’s judgment. It’s like no one is watching me. That’s when I feel like I am reclaiming my power. Every class, every studio session, I reclaim my power by dancing. I am also reclaiming my voice. It’s crazy to see because you don’t usually talk while dancing. But I’m talking through my movements. Every movement I do, I’m speaking. 

So, that’s when I feel the most Untamed, when I’m dancing, especially when I take a sexy jazz class. When do you feel the most Untamed?
