“should”

how often have you used the word ‘should’ not realising that it is societal programming at play in your head?

“I should have a better job by now…”

“I shouldn’t eat this piece of cake…”

“I should be in a relationship…”

i should i should i should

I recently heard the phrase “don’t should on yourself” and if there is one takeaway from this short read, please let it be that.
