We live conditioned by what society imposes on us. By what others expect from us. By what we're supposed to do, what's considered normal, what's socially acceptable, what aligns with others' expectations. Others, always others. They create barriers for us. We ourselves create limitations. And we follow along.

In a life observed and conditioned by what family, friends, strangers, and the community deem to be correct. We've never been so connected, absorbed, watched.

​

And yet, perhaps, we've never been so alone. And isolated. In this duality of connection and interaction, of having information at our fingertips, of everything being available in seconds, it's not hard to feel lonely. Constricted. Restricted.

​

Rules are necessary and desirable for a balanced life. But we can make choices and free ourselves from filters, from constraints, from what someone else decided for us. For a freer life. Where we accept ourselves and can choose. Without hindrances. Without artificiality. With our choices. They may – or may not – be debated. But they're ours. Isn't that the first big step toward achieving freedom?
