Intrusive Thoughts

They are many voices. Your shadow self expressing itself. Making a remark that you know is yours though probably wouldn't say out load.

The voice of society enforcing its rules. The voice that says no even if what it's saying no to is something you enjoy.

The voices of those you care about. Remarks that would be stated by your family, your friends, but not necessarily yourself.

It is up to you how you respond to the intrusive thoughts. Whether you shun them. Deny them. Let them dictate your actions. Or to simply observe them.
