the constant on my mind

I feel like I'm breaking open and everything might fall out.  In a good way, hopefully.
The idea of our lives being lived within the realms of social constructs is something I am working through.  Working through, as in it is on my mind constantly, it is the lens I am looking at life through.  Consciously, unconsciously.  I'm even dealing with it in my dreams. 

What happens when we question a social construct? When we question its validity, its requirement?  It seems to me that our thoughts and emotions are shaped by the construct(s) we live within; if we choose to break it or go outside of it or create something new, I assume the thoughts and emotions would be different. 

We can make this life anything we want it to be.  What a relief.
