Key word "live." Living a lie, which we do for self-protection, but also to protect people we love from disillusionment, can become intolerable. Ultimately, the lie is not worth living.
And, it's not only about what other people think our life should be, it's about how we are imprinted from birth... who we're programmed to believe we're supposed to be and what kind of life we're supposed to strive for. But, wait a minute! As it turns out, a one-size-fits-all template doesn't actually exist.
