Where did you learn the rules you live by? From my parents, grandparents, siblings and other caregivers. School, religion, and society. Coming from a society that wasn't normal. Where there was conflict and hardship. Watching the law maker being the law breaker. Then the rules of law means nothing. Those who make the law, then break the law in the name of the law. Then there is no law. A lawless society. I personally hated rules. I hated authority. Rules were made to be broken. Growing up and carrying all this. Living for years in active addiction. Then changing my ways and changing my rules. Learn from my mistakes. Got over my bad habits. Having boundaries and self respect and self compassion. Forgiveness and accountability for my actions. This is the rules I live by.
