It’s so easy to get caught up in making choices based on what we think others want to see from us, based on how we can ‘fit in’ and what we think is expected. We make safe choices to alleviate possible rejection, disapproval or to avoid being misunderstood.

But life’s just way to short to make conservative choices!!! Buy the outrages sequin jacket you wanted, chase the dream job even if it doesn’t make sense to others, get the wild hair cut or paint your house pink!

Let this little artwork serve as a reminder to be unashamedly you in the face of perceived expectations and pressure to make choices that aren’t yours.
