#295 Take me as I am

Play

Most of our life, we’re bending to the expectations of others. How we look, how we behave, where we work, the life choices we make. It’s like all these little decisions were made without us and we’re expected follow the choreography, hope we don’t screw it up and stack it.

But wouldn’t it be liberating, not to mention time saving, if we were all just accepted the way we are?

Sometimes it pays off to just throw yourself out there and say… take me as I am.

‘Debt’ by Sophie Duxson and Jason L’Ecuyer [repeat]

When we start a new relationship with someone, we always expect at least a little bit of… baggage. Hangovers from our past life that we try to keep hidden for as long as possible. But often it’s just a matter of time before that baggage rears its head and threatens to make or break the new love.

Music: ‘Blammo’ and ‘Just watching’ by Podington Bear
