The Dangers of “Should” and Why You Need to Stop Using It

We all have an idealized vision of how our lives “should” be – the perfect job, relationship, body, house, etc. But constantly comparing reality to this fictional ideal is an express train to unhappiness. As writer Elle Luna said, “We unconsciously imprison ourselves to avoid our most primal fears. We choose Should because choosing Must is terrifying, incomprehensible.”

Using “should” gives us an excuse to avoid taking action or making changes. After all, if things “should” be a certain way, then it’s not our fault they aren’t, right? Wrong. Saying “I should start working out” or “I should be making more money” puts the responsibility on some nameless force instead of yourself.

Confessions

Confession of the Day

I just pooped my pants while driving. It was like an hour of clean up.

It was actually loose stool, I just got over a stomach bug.

I was halfway through my hour commute when I let loose. No businesses anywhere in sight. Three times before it actually came out, I could feel it fighting to emerge, but I kept it at bay. Deep down, I knew that something was different, that there was no stopping it.

What Does It Feels Like To Miss Out On Relationships Until Later In life 

missing out on relationships

Honestly, yes, I do feel like I “missed out.” As I’ve grown older, I believe more and more that a sense of relational exploration is vital in one’s adolescent years.

I went to a high school where I didn’t have the opportunity to explore that side of myself and college … well, suffice to say that college sucked, too.
