Society's expectations can be suffocating from "summary" of Chronicles by Bob Dylan
It's like you're expected to fit into this mold that society has carved out for you. You're supposed to follow a certain path, conform to certain norms, and meet certain expectations. But what if that path doesn't feel right for you? What if those norms don't resonate with who you truly are? What if those expectations suffocate you, leaving you gasping for air in a room filled with societal pressures?I remember feeling that weight on my shoulders, the burden of trying to be someone I wasn't. It seemed like everyone had an opinion on who I should be, what I should do, and how I should live my life. But I couldn't shake the feeling that I was living a lie, that I was betraying myself by trying to be what others wanted me to be. It's a constant battle, this struggle between staying true to yourself and meeting society's expectations. It's like trying to swim against a strong current, fighting to keep your head above water as the waves of societal pressure crash down on you. It's exhausting, draining your energy and dimming your spirit. But despite the suffocating weight of society's expectations, there is a glimmer of hope. A flicker of light that reminds you that you have a choice. You can choose to break free from the chains of conformity, to step off the well-worn path and forge your own way. It's a risky move, a leap of faith into the unknown, but it's also a chance to breathe freely, to live authentically, and to find true fulfillment. So, as I look back on those days when society's expectations threatened to suffocate me, I am grateful for the strength and courage it took to break free. I am grateful for the opportunity to live on my own terms, to follow my own path, and to be true to myself, no matter what others may think.
