What’s something you believe everyone should know.
(What’s Something Everyone Should Know? The Unspoken Truth Beneath Everything We See and Do
Everywhere we look, we’re bombarded by certainties. Rules, expectations, and systems are laid out as if they are the grand truths of the universe, etched in stone. But here’s something that gnaws at me: those so-called certainties? They’re scaffolds built by others—constructed to make us fit, to make us manageable.
Everyone should know this: the world isn’t fixed. It’s a construction, and every rule you’ve been taught is something you can challenge, reshape, or ignore. But realizing this? That’s a jolt. You begin to see that boundaries are made of paper, systems of dust, and the hardest truth is that most people will never look beyond the veil.
Think of it. We follow a path of routines, beliefs, expectations from childhood, most of which aren’t even ours. And so, we’re brought up to follow, to adapt, to blend in. But once you wake up, once you really start questioning, you can’t unsee it. Society’s constructs—this mammoth grid we’re meant to live within—it’s all malleable. Freedom lies in understanding that.
There’s a poem, a song, a single scream in every person. It’s buried beneath obligations, insecurities, societal guilt. The world has taught us to hush it down. But that scream is the truest thing about us—it’s the sound of who we were before the world told us who to be. The truth that everyone should know is that the core of who you are, the part that’s deeply, sometimes silently, screaming for release—that is worth listening to.
But how do we get there? For me, it started with moments that made me question: Why am I doing this? Who decided this was the way? And then, deeper questions: Who am I without these definitions? What would my life look like if it were only my own? There’s an avant-garde thrill in diving into that discomfort, in pulling the thread of every assumption you’ve ever held. It’s like walking into a dark forest with nothing but a flame you’ve lit yourself.
And the journey of self-questioning? It never ends. That’s the beauty and the terror of it all. You’ll encounter paradoxes, new fears, and realizations that shake you to your core. You’ll find that “truth” itself is a construct, an ever-shifting mosaic that defies perfection. There’s no ultimate destination, only layers upon layers to peel away.
To me, that’s the real art of life: the act of carving away everything you were told to be until you find something raw, untouched by the world’s conventions. And what you find may surprise you, may even terrify you, but it’s yours—and no one else’s.
Let me say this as loud as I can: everyone deserves to feel the exhilaration of becoming. It’s the most subversive act there is. The more I live, the more I think that maybe we’re all meant to rewrite, to tear down and rebuild ourselves over and over. To chase not a single truth but to feel the wild, breathtaking surge of living authentically, beyond the constraints of other people’s ideals.
So, what’s something everyone should know? It’s that freedom, true freedom, doesn’t come from any external structure—it comes from shedding them. It comes from being unapologetically you, letting your true self rise up, even if it makes waves, even if it’s messy, even if it makes people uncomfortable. And if you reach that point, you’ll know a truth few ever glimpse: that life is not just to be lived—it’s to be fully, fearlessly felt.
