Labels

I was in a psychology class at Uni when I first heard “your perception is your reality.” WTF!! Talk about change my whole world. I started to realise that my values and beliefs were more fluid than I realised and that the evolution of these values and beliefs gave understanding of how my life experiences influence my ideals and perspectives. This leads me to question everything. I question because I do not know or I am yet to understand the deeper essence of who I am.

I feel the labels that family, friends, society, institutions and even ourselves, place on us are restrictive and limiting. Why do we do this? How do we break free? Do you want to break free? Get out of the box and step away from the distractions and ask the question, who am I really? What is the recipe that makes up this human?
