I -Don't- Have To
When I have to, I don't want to.
There is a "rebellious" side in me who resists to some "musts". I really try hard to calm this part of my self down but I haven't achieved much yet. It's not that I have to pay the bills, the rent and I refuse. It's about other things...
You have to write
Writing is something I love doing. The whole process makes me happy, it makes me feel creative, it helps me put my thoughts together. Writing sometimes is even better than talking to someone. However when I feel that I HAVE TO write, I hate doing it. I'm not doing it. The have to ruins all the fun.
You have to call me/ have to meet me/ have to care about me
You know what? No I don't.
For a strange reason people whine a lot and constantly ask for attention. No actually they don't ask for it, they demand it. How pathetic is that? When they tell me "Where the hell have you been? Why didn't you call me? Why have you vanished??", this is when I want to vanish for real after punching those people in the face! The answer of course to their question is "because I didn't want to". But if you tell them so they may commit suicide. You drama queens.
You have to sleep
Never. I can stay awake all night. My brain cannot switch off. It is too busy repeating "Sleep, c'mon close your eyes, you will have to wake up in 7 hours, 6 hours, 5 hours, 4 hours". Oh my God this countdown is the best way to eternal insomnia! So do I have to sleep? Kay, I'll just never sleep again.
There are so many more examples...
"You have to keep quiet", "you have to wake up", even "you have to take a bath now" -lol- etc... And the stubborn, stupid self always replies "NO, NO, NOOO"!!! Am I that immature? Am I a brat? Am I silly? I don't know what's wrong with me. But the freedom of choice always makes me more efficient at all levels.

"Am I that immature? Am I a brat? Am I silly?"
I guess it depends on what you are calling "I", doesn't it?
I think one would be better off refering to that entity (or those entities) as "it" rather than "I", something to be observed. Is "it" being a brat, is "it" immature, is "it" being silly?
The first freedom is the freedom from "like" and "dislike", something that I am guessing might best be approached by having an overall "aim" for one's life.
You are absolutely right!! This doesn't define who I am, it's only a side of me.. So "it" can be any either silly or immature.. :)
Regarding that "aim" for one's life, yes, we should all figure out a reason for being, our "ikigai", in order to obtain a balanced life. When you know the reason for which you wake up every morning, you know better who you are, what you like and what you don't..
Hell! This is a great post because I think also.
I just can't bring myself to write a new picture if I MUST. My muse leaves me without a trace.
I think it is important for each of us to feel the presence of freedom around us and inside us. The feeling of open space and opportunities inspires and then all things are solved much easier and with pleasure.
I am against any restrictions and "must" if ee, of course, it is possible in our life))
Thank you for your kind words! :)
I 100% agree with you... Freedom is very important for expressing ourselves..
