Yes you bet hon, we had to act to please those around us. We denied ourselves for the comfort sake of society, family, friends. We are a martyr to their cause. We died so that they can live guilt free.
We were taught we had to "act" a certain way. When I heard the words "be yourself".... I'm literally wide eyed and baffled without a clue! And if I did....years of conditioning would become unglued and the world will cave in...so it was unsacred ground to even think of being real! (Scream!)
I'm beginning to understand the words "Be true to yourself".
This is literally the bravest I've ever been for me.... ever.
It feels so right that I felt like I'm the one that kept myself in a box. I was put there. So I stayed there. The idea of still living feels so fresh!
