Dance like no one’s watching, Brene Brown advises, sing! Who cares what others think?
Most of us want to take off our “game face” and let our true selves emerge. Never is this more true than in middle age when we are rediscovering who we are, what we love, our passions, our interests, our beliefs, our long held, subterranean goals.
This yearning to be free grow stronger after the death of a
beloved parent, one we wanted to impress. Or the departure of our children, to
lead their own lives.
They are free. Why shouldn't we be free too? Why shouldn't we lead the life we want? Be who we want? Act how we want?
They are free. Why shouldn't we be free too? Why shouldn't we lead the life we want? Be who we want? Act how we want?
And yet something holds us back.
