I feel so stifled, as if I am going to choke from not being able to express myself. Or spontaneously combust from all of the pressure to conform to so many varying desires, ideas, and theories of others regarding how I should be/think/look/talk/act. I've decided on an approach to halt my decent into convention-caused madness. I'm going to be selfish! I don't take enough time for myself so I'm unable to explore things I'm passionate about. That needs to change. I have every intention of changing it beginning today. For this purpose, we'll say that "today" refers to Saturday, June 5th.

Straight jacket be damned! I will not conform!
