The Unauthorized Blog

The Unauthorized Blog champions sticking up for yourself, and spending your time on activities that provide you fulfillment mastering your own life without nodding to any authority. 

I started  these "vlogs" because there was so much I had learned over the years that I should've learned as a child. The ideas contained in here might be obvious for some people. If so, wonderful. This channel is meant for folks like me who were raised in an authoritarian home and culture, in which doing right merely meant doing what someone told you to do whether it was a good idea or not, was the norm. I believe authoritarianism erodes a person's reasoning abilities. I had to regain my reasoning abilities through years of mistakes and good advice from trustworthy friends,  a wonderful uncle, and a trained professional. I couldn't utilize their advice until I threw away my authoritarian mindset.

This blog might not appeal to religious folks. Religion is generally authoritarian - somemore than others.
