You don't have to challenge the status quo
But you can if you want to
To you, lovely reader,
Many of us are presented with a very dominant cultural narrative of how life should be lived. So if you’ve ever felt like there are parts of that narrative that doesn’t fit for you, then read on. I hope that you will find some ideas, some solidarity, and maybe some assurance that you’re doing ok.
There’s no perfect way to live - no secret to happiness. I’d be out of my job as a mental health clinician if there was, and to be honest I’d love to quit. So I’d tell you the secrets if I knew them, I promise. If anything, my experience (and a fair whack of evidence) tells me that living a life that aligns with our values is the closest thing to joy and fulfilment we’re going to get.
This blog is not at all about how you should live your life. (We all have enough influences telling us how we should live our lives already.)
Rather, this blog is for people who, like me, have wondered about how you could live your life.
So please, as you read on, take what’s helpful and leave what isn’t.
Subscription to this blog - and the ideas within it - is totally optional.
Much love,
Tas x
