I have found myself, at various times in my life, burying my individuality to fit in with the expectations of my peers, my family and my community. Life at these times is emotionally quieter...for awhile. If I do not speak out I feel that I am lying by keeping silent. Others may feel more comfortable because I am not challenging them, but I feel miserable when I do not challenge what appear to me to obvious hypocrisies . So in the long run, for now, I walk a strange middle road, where at times I speak out and at other times I don't. I pick my battles. I go underground, remaining a calm member of my community while speaking out in my writing and painting. I pour my individuality in my arts. This is an outstanding episode.
