I’m finding out more and more that people are wanting to just feel ‘normal’ and that they aren’t ‘crazy’. I got news for you, you’re not crazy. As a matter of fact, you’re more likely to be a lot more normal than you think you are.

I’ve also found out that some folks just need to feel as if they have ‘permission’ to be or feel a certain way. I’m not sure why that is, but when that day does come to allow yourself to feel and be any way you choose, that’s a good day.

So, I’ve made you wait long enough, here’s my list of 4 criteria that will allow you to be an awesome you!

  1. It has to be legal – This is fairly cut and dry.
  2. Is it positive? – Be very honest with yourself about this one.
  3. Is it consensual? – If you’re doing something with someone else, are they OK with it?
  4. Is it ethical/harmful to anyone? This one will take some thinking to get right. Often ethical questions can be tough!

That’s it!! If what you are doing fits within those 4 things, I say, “have at it! Go forth and be awesome!”
