Daily Year of Yes – 74

I’ve been thinking a lot about who I am lately. What I like to do, wear, eat and the people I like to be around.

I’ve been trying to understand how many of my choices are based on the conditioning or expectations I grew up with vs a genuine self exploration. How much of what I wear is what I was told was appropriate? How much of what I do was what I thought I should be doing?

I am very lucky that I chose at a very young age to live a life that felt true to me. I had kind and supportive parents and sister who cheered me on and didn’t hold me back.

And yet.

I still look at myself and my life and my choices and keep questioning the basis of many of my decisions. The invisible assumptions I make, the unwritten rules I follow.

I was thinking earlier this week that I would like to be done with all that. I’ve likely lived more than half of my life already. I’m running out of time and don’t want to waste any more of it.

I want to wear what I want and do what I want and to be able to do that I need to know what that is.

It’s time.

Yes to making the invisible visible. Yes to doing whatever I want and being and owning who I am.
