Now and then

What if we took all the lists and dropped them in the shredder?

Without any supposed to's, or must be's, what would the world come to?

How could we live without the angst of being something we are not?

How hard could it be to be true to our best selves?

A fragile flower quivering in the breeze one moment and Indiana Jones the next!

The difference between this and that is now and then.

Now I know who I am, but then I was taught to be something I wasn't always going to be.

Trying to stay within the lines that somebody else drew causes a lot of angst.

Let us all be true to ourselves and allow other folks to do the same.
