Like a Nasty Rash: The Self-Imposed Prison of Societal Pressure, Worry, and Perfectionism (more thoughts on parenting)

This is kind of a continuation of a post I did previously on Steemit that can be found here.

Sometimes the fear, worry, and shame we may feel as parents or even just as individuals (regardless of parental status) isn't even our own, though we may identify it as such.

To me, becoming who you are is the essence of anarchism, and to do that, these false prisons of fear, doubt, worry, guilt and shame should be brought into one's clear awareness, and seen for what they are.

Not fought, but seen, accepted, and then left behind.

Once aware of these things, our lives automatically change.
