Should

I tell a story about how I think I didn't know how to read when I got to 1st grade because I didn't think I should know how to read. I'm not 100% sure it is true, but it is possible. And it highlights, among other things, the importance of what we believe should be.

In reality, though, there are no shoulds, just a lot of societal conventions. Some of them are easier to go against than others, but it's good to keep in mind that it is a choice to go with them or against them.

Some will say that if you have a blog, you should blog more than I have been. I even say that to myself at times. But it is my blog and it will be what it is.
