I have spent a lifetime being (and not very well) what
someone else has dictated I should be, following all of the rules. Most of the
time I do not know who those “someones” are, I have never met them but they are
experts and made the rules and I have followed them. How to look, act, how much
money I should have, how a lady behaves, how a mother should raise children, how a wife
should honor her husband, when a mother in-law should speak, the list goes on
and on. I have done all of these things
by the rules. Sometimes they worked, but
more often they didn’t.
Every time they didn’t, I felt like a failure. These “someones”
judge me, they are voices in my head, they are always critical, they always
point out everything I have done wrong and continue to do wrong without any
consideration to what makes me happy.
It is my turn to be happy….
As long as I am not hurting
anyone else
…screw the rules!
