Life becomes shorter and unfulfilling when you stop doing the things you want to do for fear of being judged.  The reason we play it safe has to do with conditioning from millions of years ago.  But whether it was millions of years ago or last week, you can be who you want to be, free from the worry of being judged, and possibly being cast out.
