Leora Oz Creating my Life by Design
/Leora Oz
I’m the creator of my life. I design the life I want, every single day. It took time to find my true self, but once I began shedding the layers built by my parents, friends, and society, I finally reached the most authentic version of me. That journey of peeling back what was never truly mine has been the most valuable part of my story.
For most of my life, the narrative has been about letting go. Letting go of expectations, of roles I never chose, of identities that didn’t feel like home. Only recently have I truly seen myself clearly. Now, rooted in that truth, I started creating a life that’s fully mine, free from societal expectations.
I live fully, doing what I love with joy and intention. Challenges are not setbacks; they’re invitations to grow, to deepen. Travel is my way of expanding, of stepping into new versions of myself. At this point in my journey, I embrace a lifestyle that honors freedom, love, joy, and peace. These are my core values. They shape every step I take.
I’ve always been drawn to expression through acting, modeling, movement. I love revealing thoughts and emotions openly, and acting aligned perfectly with that part of me. It gave me a mirror to explore the sides of myself I once kept hidden, the emotions I believed made me weak. Before acting, I couldn’t fully connect with that vulnerable, valuable part of who I am. But stepping into the craft helped me express those feelings without shame, without holding back.
That freedom to be seen, to be heard, to create in my own way became essential. It’s what keeps me going in an industry that often tells you no before it sees you. If it weren’t for that deep-rooted connection to expression, I would’ve given up long ago. But this art form gives me space to be real, to transform, to transcend.
An unapologetic expression of my true self… raw beauty, free. A version of me untouched by judgment or constraint. All things as it is without any imminent urgent need to be addressed. In a scenario that is absent of angst.
My true passion is to live life with joy, peace, and love. To wake up each day feeling alive, excited, and open to adventure. I love being in the air that’s where I feel most free. In the past couple of years, I’ve been bringing that passion to life through flying airplanes and working toward my skydiving license. It’s a way of touching the sky… of living fully, fearlessly.
I want a life that’s completely mine. No two days the same. Always new, always unfolding. And when it’s time to pause, to integrate the journey, I imagine myself by the sea, somewhere warm, tropical, serene. Just me, the ocean, and my words. Writing my book, resting in stillness, deeply connected to everything and needing nothing.
