There’s No Rules

There’s no rules, dude. Honestly, you can do whatever you want. Stop worrying so much about the opinions of other people and just live your life.

Ok, obviously there are some rules we all have to follow, but I needed a better hook opening line. What I mean by this sentiment is that you can do pretty much anything you want, within reason, but what stops you is fear. How many times have you wanted to try something but didn’t because someone else said not to, or you were afraid of being judged? I know personally, it’s happened a lot.

There is no hard and fast rule on how you’re supposed to live your life or how you should accomplish your goals. Simply because one person did this or someone else says that, doesn’t mean it’s the only way. Some things in life are meant to be taken less seriously, but we overthink them out of fear.

The bi ones that come to mind as I right this are piercings and tattoos, also relationships. Tattoos and piercings are fun in my eyes. I think they’re an expression of your personality and you shouldn’t be afraid to get them if you desire them. There are people who hate tattoos and they will not like yours, but who the hell cares? There’s no universal ruling of what tattoos you should get or how many, you decide that.

With relationships, there isn’t one way in which every one will progress. My Tik Tok has been inundated with relationships videos and they all say different things, but none of them fit perfectly. The situation you’re in is unique and so is mine, so no one rule will work for both of us. You have to act in ways that feel right. That may mean expressing your feelings, it may mean waiting it out. Maybe you need to break up, maybe you need to stay together. Sometimes giving some space is the answer, while other times you need closeness. You make the rules based on the scenario and what feels right.

No one can make these choices for you. You have to be able to know your values and let them guide your decisions. If something feels right and it has no detrimental affect on those around you, consider it more deeply. Your decision shouldn’t be made out of fear or because it has worked for someone else. You have to make your own rules and try your own methods. You’ll learn and grow with every action.

Every decision you make won’t be the best one and that’s fine too. Recalibrate and try something else later. Whatever feels right to you in your present state should be thought about. Don’t let fear guide you.
