Read excerpt
Subscribe nowGrowing up, I heard unspoken messages. We all did. We still do. Recently, in a journal entry, I wrote:“One of the worst lies culture told me was that I needed to be a somebody.”Kind of rough. Maybe: “An insidious belief culture imparted to me was that for life to have meaning, I would have to accomplish significant things that would gain me notoriety.”Sounds too polished.
