Rebellion

True rebellion begins at any age with the disregard of the patriarchal and matriarchal expectations. It is commandeering the helm of your own ship and setting a course that will bring your life satisfaction and fulfillment. It is not inherently bad, and often means stepping outside of the crowd and turning your gaze inwards—upon yourself and society—as a critical observer. When performed correctly, the end result is often one of inner peace and ultimately the acceptance of your familial ties. Rebellion is a long, solitary, road which requires a clear vision and an enormous amount of patience and faith. It is an art form to be perfected over the coarse of many years—but it begins by deciding exactly what it is you truly want from life.
