you're freer than you think you are

It is very easy to get in your own head when you want to try something new, or you want to change something in your life. Sometimes the biggest obstacle to doing something is the belief that you aren't allowed to do or be something outside of peoples expectations. Whether its a little thing like getting something different than your usual at a cafe, or something big like changing careers, you need to stop obsessing over invisible rules and expectations and just do it. You're freer than you think you are.

doing what you want

ik it's sort of a given but just do it! I started learning guitar yesterday because I wanted too, not because anyone else does it, not because it's "trendy" to play guitar, but because I wanted to. it's liberating when you stop thinking about what other people might think about what you do, because it's nothing to do with them!!! also don't let anyone else say its performative because you know it isn't, so don't take it from someone who has no idea what they are talking about!!

TO BECOME OUR TRUE AUTHENTIC SELF/GET AS CLOSE TO IT AS POSSIBLE

I change my appearance multiple times a year. I cut my hair and dye it. I try new styles. I get tattoos and piercings. I try new food. I do things for ME. I want to find my true self and interests and each day I get closer to who I really want to be. I feel I learn something new about myself everyday even if it’s small. (I’m depressed + anxious too and it can be so hard but I remind myself that I can’t care about everyone else and their opinions I need to do what is right for me. and no it is not selfish to do things for you).
