Well written! Sometimes you remind me of Henry David Thoreau! "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to face the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." In his book "Walden; or, Life in the Woods" (1854), he wrote about daring to leave the prison: Take control of your own life, become the one who really makes the choices - don't just let yourself be pushed forward and forward by other people's expectations.
