I was vegan for ten years because I believed it. Then one day I noticed I was using it as armor.

The ethics were real. The performance around them wasn't.

When does a value become a performance of that value?

Yoga culture has rules nobody ever wrote down. I followed them for years before realizing I hadn't chosen them.

They feel like values. They accumulate like obligations.

Which unwritten rules have you quietly agreed to follow?

Wellness culture taught me every problem has a solution, and that nearly broke me.

Five steps to enlightenment. I tried to solve myself.

Self-help articles be like:
