I am attempting to do the same thing through writing right now. I trained myself for a decade to stop being myself. My writing is me rediscovering who I really am. I used to be weird. And I was happy. Then I tried to conform. That led to struggles with mental illness.

Now I am pretty much journaling in public. After a decade of hiding myself, I just want to shout from the rooftops now. I want to get back to my weird self.

An open society is the key to happiness. We are all trained to keep secrets because secrets are how you make money.

I am working on an economic model that shows the most effective way to make money is to let everyone be their weird selves.

I am in the process of seeking funding for my startup that is based on this model. But in essence, I want to pay you for sharing your nipples with the world. Or whatever else you want. I want to pay people to share openly and honestly.

Thank you for your openness. Your writing proves to me that I am on the right track.
