This hit hard. I feel every line like being human is constantly criminalized if we don’t fit into someone else’s box. Thank you for putting into words the frustration of reclaiming your own life, your own rules. It’s a reminder that the work of reprogramming ourselves is messy, necessary, and brave.✨
I think we all have that "voice" in our heads that argues with what we are doing or want to do. After nearly 80 years of life, I don't think I've anything left to reprogram. I started at age 18 when I left home and decided I'd chase what I wanted. I was the "black sheep" in a family of pure white lambs, all following the rules. I guess I'd comment, dump one thing "society" thinks you ought to be doing, and dumping all the rest comes naturally. Just don't worry about what someone else thinks of your decisions. As you put it, they are all yours. Learn, change, move on. Every "miss - take" is just a mistake from which to learn.
I remember the first time I realized half my habits weren’t even mine they were inherited, downloaded without my permission. It’s hard work uninstalling old code. But it’s worth it. This post is such a powerful reminder of that

As we say here in my family "keep your chin up" ... remember, never give up and never let someone else tell you, a woman, how to live your life :-)
