Usually I'm not a big fan of so much repetition, but in this case, it works. It's like the dreadful drumbeat of expectations, which conjures up the memories of so many of your well-chosen sources for such pressure, which builds as your message goes on. I hope you & people of your generation can make this progression -- away from being obedient & toward being free -- sooner than I did! Nicely inspiring (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Pressure, creates and destroys depending on the items mixed together. You have captured that notion.

I love the meaning behind the title: Societal Bonds. It makes me want to read more. The way you kept saying pressure, giving light to the fact that people are always judging or criticizing. Very good job done here.
