Should is almost always a lie.
It’s the way people get talked out of
doing the things they really want to do,
the things they are actually good at.
When you have something good or useful or beautiful
that you want to bring into the world, there will
almost always be a voice saying
you should do something else.
‘Should’ can come from society’s discomfort
with people who are different,
people who choose the abnormal path.
‘Should’ can come from toxic, manipulative relationships.
‘Should’ can come from your internal critic.
It’s still a lie.
Do the good thing anyway.
