Hi there @ladyofavalon and welcome, welcome to our Steemit family here! What a wonderful writer you are and communicator of thought-wisdom.

I can absolutely relate to not wanting labels in life and how words have become so tainted. I love how you expressed this with walls going up as soon as they are used - it does feel very much like that. We're all human beings, after all - responsible for our own actions and life lessons.

Very beautiful and thoughtful/insightful post!

I look forward to many more posts from you ;)

Much love
