 Throughout life we consistently deny who we are and 
what we are truly supposed to be doing mainly due to familial and 
societal pressure. 
We are given time-frames in life that are completely 
unrealistic to gauge where and how we should be living. We live denying 
our own selves. This is the polar opposite of divine bliss. Bliss is not man-made, bliss is what speaks to the soul. 
In my own life, I have set aside writing 
novels, writing my own story, due to things I thought were essential for me 
to be doing and they were essential and necessary and correct for 
growth. However, there is no reason to deny one's own bliss within certain time-frames. 
Our mistake as humans is never realizing that we can do 
whatever we want at any given moment, we are powerful, not powerless. 
The
 "ideal" of not having power is ingrained in our minds from birth. Time to
 talk, time to walk, time for school, time for . . . time frames. Clocks.
 Calendars. 
Our existence has been molded for us and it is our job as 
whole beings to deny what we have been ingrained with and heed the call 
of the universe  when it pulls and yanks at our ears and hair. When one 
denies self, illness sets in, identity crisis, a breakdown of the soul. 
This is okay, this is normal and healthy. We are taught it is abnormal.
A breakdown of self and overcoming that is a genuine call from 
the universe to wake up and fly like the most holy beautiful souls that 
we are.
