De-condition.

Being politically correct is not as important as being correct.

Being correct is not as important as being true.

Being true is not as important as being real.

Let's reverse it.

Be real, then true, then correct...maybe then you will know how to project that correctness. In a great way.

Good friends - that's the foundation.

I thought I was enough alone...but honestly, I couldn't have done without them.

Without their critique, or support. Or love ...or confidence in me.

They showed me things I couldn't see myself.

They took me to places I had never been to before.

I think that's why we all need friends. It's a team. We celebrate our joys and sorrows together,

I guess, the trust and bond we share made me more of myself.

Me being me.

My favourite part of the story is the part I decide to break the rules and follow my instinct.

The part where I break the construct and question myself. Question my belief system.

The part where I take the plunge fearlessly. Despite the noise. Despite the disappointments.

The part where I break free from all the conditioning the society has to offer...without being foolhardy !
