What we have constructed

Just think how many times we have bought something, liked something, eaten something, done or said something, even partnered someone because it fitted out story and our ego.

Yet deep down we sensed the things our the people weren’t right for us.

Just think how much simpler and joyful we would be if we followed our soul, our true essence and heart. If we went with our real feelings and not acted to be popular, fit in or live to a lifestyle that fits the self image our mind at its ego have constructed.

It’s a choice we can make.

Ditching fitting in

Fitting in is something we feel we need to do, so much so, that even when there is no one there, we still behave in a way that would be seen to be normal.

We are afraid of being different and that fear prevents us from being our true selves. We suffer within from that fear of not fitting in, of being judged for being different and at the same time we suffer from not being who we truly are.

Perhaps it’s better to lose all the suffering…just be ourselves no matter what. Ditch fitting in and just be.
