"And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
or driven to its knees"
American Tune by Paul Simon
Me neither. And that is why I have just about lost all tolerance for social pressures that ask us to bend ourselves and our real experiences in favour of something safer, easier, lighter, and untruthful. I say "just about" because I still bend myself to the will of that pressure sometimes. Much more than I would like to be. And it is in these moments that I get very twisted up and lose my perspective on who I am and what I believe. The good news is that I am allowing that to happen less and less, recognizing it for what it is and finding my way back to myself faster.
