the story of "i will not obey"
i hate the word OBEY, i hate the word COMPLY, i hate the words GET IN LINE...i will decide what is best and right for me,
thank you very much...
and i believe that you get to decide what is best and right for you!
it is the foundation of becoming a whole person that you stand tall in your knowing of what feels good and right and true to you. it isn’t a list of rules that you follow that’s posted on the side of the classroom wall or some ancient societal belief that gets to dictate how our gut reacts to the world.
it is our gut, our mind and our hearts that get to decide
what we do with our time, who we love and how we show up in the world.
this design is purposefully vintage bandana inspired to pay homage to all those rebels and outlaws that came before us that would not obey, who broke the rules that needed broken and stood up for what felt right in their gut, even when the status quo said otherwise.
one of my favorite quotes is by Nelson Mandela
“When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in,
he has no choice but to become an outlaw.”
to that i say, amen, and I will not obey.
