We all live by certain rules, some more consciously than others. Do I know what rules govern me? Sure, there’s the obvious ones like “stop at red lights” or “don’t murder” — but what about the rules that cause you angst, that chafe, or that dim your inner light?
Personally I’ve labored under many unwritten rules; rules I picked up and ran with from a young age. Maybe they serve me now, maybe they don’t. The problem is I never questioned them before.
Here’s some of my rules about what I won’t say in public, now written down and shared, ready for me to start questioning:
I don’t talk politics online
I don’t express anger
I don’t associate my ideas with my name
I don’t video record myself
I don’t fight the administration
I don’t add to the noise
I don’t research and share what ive researched
I don’t talk about sex
I don’t talk about my experiences with one taste with om with my addictions
I don’t talk about my depression
I don’t talk about drugs.
