Killing Me Softly

They're Experts? But who is "they," really? Experts are everywhere, spouting "shoulds" and "musts". I listened ...

I took a deep dive into their trenches. Sifted through oceans of so-called wisdom. And guess what? It turned me turgid!

Like that old song, "Killing Me Softly", you know?

I listened - but I knew in my bones: This isn't me. This isn't right. They were subtly stealing my soul. I fought back. Clawed back my essence, did some serious soul-retrieval. And the gurus? They pushed back, hard. "It'll never work," they said. But here's the kicker - I'm here, more "me" than ever.

I'm unapologetically out of step with their chorus.

So I say, stay true to the core, fiery values of your spirit.

Question everything. Every friend. Every boss. Every social more. Every organisation. Every 'expert' whisper. When your gut screams, "No way!" - listen to it. It’s telling you Truth.

Stay wild. Stay awake. Never, ever let them kill you with their song.
