I am rotting from the inside, but maybe I can reverse the process.
I don't want to die. I want to live. You have to die in order to bring forth life. Those who don't are regarded scornfully, as subhumans.
Conformity is the death of the soul, they say, and there are so many ways to conform that do not suit me. I conform enough already.
Ah. Spoken like a quintessential Scorpio - the archetype of re-birth. ;)
Just take care not to try too hard to un-conform simply for the sake of being a non-conformist. That will just lead you back, circularly, to being within something else's control besides yourself...
For once, it seems you are overdramatizing the issue. Nobody asked you to conform or die. It's more a matter of having certain principles in mind, to be able to do basic things that keep relationships harmonious. Doing so is not to burn down everything you hold dear but is part of normal, long-term interractions.
