How to use "Wayward" in context?
Wayward is a term often used to describe someone who is straying from the normal path in life. This can be done for a variety of reasons, but in the end it usually leads to a loss of focus and a sense of unease. For some, this can be a source of great creativity and inspiration, while for others it can be a source of anxiety and depression. At its core, waywardness is simply a refusal to conform to the expectations of society or the limitations of self. It is a reminder that life is ever-changing and full of surprises, and that we should never be afraid to explore new territory.
