Conform to the Norm

To a great many folks growing up means conforming, like wearing a suit and tie...one does not need to conform to the norm in order to be a responsible (adult) person, pay the bills, keep one's word, etc.

I will not conform in that manner, and hence compromise my true Self...
For that very reason I became an artist Worked most all my life...for myself...

Didn't make a bunch of money...but I worked at what I loved. Paid my bills, kept my word, etc. Life is Good...(though politics suck) .
