Hello from Sydney

[Luisa]

Hi All, 

 

My name is Louise. I am a happily married 29 year old that has been casually listening to Freedomain Radio for about a couple years now. At first I admit to being resistant to the ideas being expressed, but now I find myself being very passionate about the non-initiation of force, and how it is continuously being violated in our society. I am looking forward to a more active part in this community, and hope to make meaningful and enriching connections. 

 

If I had to say what my highest value was, it would be a commitment to the truth. This commitment has definitely grown over the years. I have changed a lot as a person throughout my twenties. Sadly, for a sizable percentage of my adult life I based many of my decisions on sub-conscious programming that had superficial and self-destruction elements to it. I have done a lot of personal development work and I am currently starting therapy for some deeper work. As a result, I am getting to know myself more and more. It has been a beautiful and joyous process, much like reconnecting with a beloved friend who had been missing for far too long. I am fortunate to have chosen a very intelligent husband who has also taken the baton and embarked on a courageous journey of self discovery a long side me. It is our ultimate dream to peacefully parent children of our own. 

 

However, as a result of my "lost-time" I am in a place right now with very little community. I also no longer want to make any compromises with my interactions with people. I hold back with everyone I know, mostly out of necessity. Of course, I am a stereotypical introvert, but I am attempting to do something quite different and out of the norm today by reaching out and expressing some needs and preferences . I need rational people in my life. People who enjoy talking about the things that actually matter, saving me from a slow death of drowning by trivial detail. If you relate to the sentiments expressed here I would love to hear from you. 

 

Sincerely, 

Louise
