Life Without Expectations
April 12
April 18, 2022
What do you think life would be like without rules?
Without guidelines and expectations?
You could choose your own path,
Regardless of the rest of the world.
What if it wasn’t expected of you
To work until you die?
You could spend your days exploring new worlds
Or creating new worlds without deadlines.
What if it wasn’t expected of you
To graduate high school and go to college?
You could find the most beautiful place on earth and disappear
Or live in a castle that touches the clouds.
What if it wasn’t expected of you
To live your life chasing money?
You could chase after happiness and joy
Or imagination and discovery.
What if it wasn’t expected of you
To be society’s expectation of perfection?
You could dance barefoot in the rain
Or live in an old hollow tree.
What if it wasn’t expected of you
To fit into a box or live a normal life?
You could paint yourself blue
Or wear pointe shoes to the library.
What would your life look like
If you could truly live it how YOU wanted to?
