It can be a difficult road to walk when we go against the grain of the social norms in our lives, but it is the mark of a self aware individual to do what is congruent with the self rather than do what is prescribed by the status quo. We must strive to find our autonomy and gravitate towards the existence we choose for ourselves and not what is forced upon us by others.
I applaud your resistance to the current state of affairs and your resilience despite the challenges you face. I hope that you never let these people win when they attempt t o force their autonomy upon you, you will always have my support :) much love and copious hugs in your direction
