when we're young, we often turn to our parents, friends, teachers for permission like our lives depend on it, not realizing that as we grow up, we're meant to learn how to make decisions for ourselves and cultivate an intuition
I've found that the act of giving myself permission starts with trusting myself in the face of others' shoulding me. beautiful essay, Ava :)
