Something to fall back on.
Something safe.
Something that kept disappointment under control.

But at some point, I realized that my “Plan B” was quietly holding me back.

It gave me an excuse not to fully commit.
Not to go all in.
Not to take responsibility for the outcome.

Being a woman without a Plan B doesn’t mean being reckless.
It means being honest about what you truly want — and acting accordingly.

When there is no escape route, you focus differently.
You prepare better.
You choose more carefully.
You take your own decisions seriously.

I stopped spreading my energy across options that didn’t excite me.
I stopped keeping doors half-open “just in case.”
And I started building one clear direction.

Living without a Plan B taught me self-trust.
Not blind optimism — but confidence in my ability to adapt if things don’t go as expected.

I’m not fearless.
I’m intentional.

And that makes all the difference.
