Dos and don'ts
Every day the same story. You open your eyes and the first thing you think about is what you should do and what you shouldn't do.
Since you were a baby, since you could not perceive the world around you; since then, the first rules entered your life. The first ones were told to you with a smile on their face and a finger moving rhythmically up and down.
As the years went by, these things were no longer accompanied by shouting, fights and sometimes even a hand of wood. "Because that's how he'll learn!" they believed.
They must have circled you endlessly like erinyes without leaving you free to breathe. Don't be seen with him, don't wear those angry clothes, don't smoke, you shouldn't talk like that to elders, you should respect your grandparents, you shouldn't talk back, you shouldn't… you shouldn't… you shouldn't….
You only have to bow your head, you have to accept what they ask of you and only offer! To your parents, to your husband, to your children, to your work...
Finally, did you learn?
Did you learn through the suffocating rules to respect those around you or maybe to fear them?
Did you learn not to talk back?
Don't raise your stature?
Don't let your desires show?
Did you learn not to claim?
Is something broken inside you and that voice asking for redemption wants to come out, scream and grab life by the hair? Do it! Do not be afraid. Don't hesitate. Stand firmly on your feet and dare to claim everything that belongs to you! Everything you deserve! Life flows like gurgling water, like a rushing river that doesn't look back. Do it! Now!
Put your wishes forward.
Without dos and don'ts.
