WHO

So often, going with the flow in life just keeps you comfortable. How? You don’t have to field questions from others about what you are doing and why you are doing OR people judging you for doing it.

Getting married before you turn 30 - check. Ideal. Acceptable. Conforms to the norm.

Travelling solo on your birthday when you turn 30 - why. Rebellious. Are they ok? Jarring.

But, people do want to live their own life as per their own decisions. These decisions are not supposed to make sense to the world, maybe not even to your closest friends or family. But, they need to make sense to you and for your life.

Freedom isn’t being able to do anything that you want. It is about having the choice to do or not do something. As a young adult, you yearn for it. You exercise choice and don’t always make the best decisions. But, you learn from them. You grow. You understand that choosing to do or not do something is not just to make you feel good now. It’s not about avoiding that fight or a difficult thing to do. It is about making your life better. You have to pick ‘you’. Choose to do what improves your life even if it breaks you first. Maybe that’s how the good things start - you learn to do something new and difficult. But that something is good. Right for you.
