"She was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we assume like a garment with which to appear before the world." -- Kate Chopin, "The Awakening". 

"A cage went in search of a bird." -- Franz Kafka.

There's nothing stopping you from being/doing anything. There's nothing stopping you from jumping off a cliff. People see this as a huge problem, but that's because you're looking at it from one perspective. There's also nothing stopping you from falling in love, living happily, pursuing your goals, trying new things, laughing, smiling, loving, caring, helping, etc.  But most people get stuck on the "what's stopping me from jumping off a cliff?". NOTHING. There's also nothing stopping you from finding a reason to live, and knowing that death will come eventually, but happiness is a choice you make to pursue and live in.  #ShakespeareReincarnated
