The individual has always had to struggle not to be overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.
Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.
I refuse to accept other people's ideas of happiness for me. As if there's a 'one size fits all' standard for happiness.
