Roman Simon on Nostr: In the past, everything I did was influenced by how it should be. How a man should ...
In the past, everything I did was influenced by how it should be.
How a man should dress? How a man should talk? How a man should look like? How a man should behave? What haircut he should have? And it was making me invisible, irrelevant, mediocre, and sad...
Now, everything I do is guided only by what I want. I buy clothes randomly in different place if I think I want it. I talk about what I want with whoever I want. And everything else in my life is aligned only with my personal wants.
People tell me occasionally: "What a strange outfit, what's that haircut, it's not appropriate to do this and that, people don't do this and that, that would be strange, you will embarrass yourself, etc".
To which I answer: "Thank you for your concerns. I am here to live MY life the way I want it and to have fun. I am ready to get embarrassed and laughed at if it is required for that.
