What are you wishing you could do?

There was a kid in high school who always wore Hawaiian shirts and I secretly wished I could wear them.

I’ve always been jealous of my brothers’ short hair and asked them to let me style it for them.

WHY did I not just do it?! Because cultural and societal expectations. I didn’t think it was okay. I thought I’d be rejected by my community if I expressed myself this way.

What are YOU currently wishing you could do but don’t think it’s ok? Is it pink hair? Is it a nose ring? Is it wearing pants to church?

Is it worth it to hold back because of fear of rejection? I say YOLO.
