Self liberation to me is to embark on a mission to break free from social conditioning to live one’s own unique truth.

The definition of social conditioning is:

‘The sociological process of training individuals in a society to act or respond in a manner generally approved by the society in general and peer groups within society. The concept is stronger than that of socialization, which refers to the process of inheriting norms, customs and ideologies.’

This is an anecdotal and declarative love letter sharing a liberatingly definitive year of going my own way, making my own rules to live by, and celebrating all of the things that my peers and society might never celebrate in me. This is a love letter to the year that I stood in new beliefs and ideologies that cultivated feelings of deep self belonging and true happiness. This is a love letter to myself for the year I chose to go all in on an existence that is wholly based on radical self permission to live my truth. May it inspire you to live yours.
