Socially Constructed Prisons

Sometimes expectations can become prisons. Feeling the need to sacrifice my Independence to the god of conformity is damaging to my soul; the feeling that expectations force me to lose myself, and dedicate my life to fulfilling the dreams of what others feel I should be; thinking that the elusive approval of others will be the symbolic key to my liberation. Sadly, when my dreams and aspirations are predicated on the of whim other, I become a slave to their thoughts. So I seek release from all expectations that don't originate from my soul and to live my life unapologetically on my own terms. I seek to challenge every convention that seeks to confine my life within the parameters of socially constructed normalcy. This is the vision that I seek to orchestrate for my life,as I realize that freedom is unattainable when I have not defined what freedom means. I cannot live my life not challenging the ideas that I believe stifle potential and suffocate dreams. My life must simply be a testament to my belief that this system is severely screwed up. I will live my life on my own terms and accept the consequences.
