I don’t believe in “shoulds” or “sins,”
Or guilt to guide this life I’m in.
I seek what’s real, not just believed—
What’s tested, tried, and well-perceived.

 

A rule must stand on proof and ground,
So clearer choices can be found.
Support a joy that’s deep and wide,
And make the process worth the ride.

 

I choose to live by what is real,
Not how I’m told I “ought” to feel.
No blame, no praise to cloud my view—
I’m a Factualist. Are you too?

 

I question thoughts that just arise—
Expectations, judgments, even lies.
I sleuth through norms and myths I’m taught,
To live in line with truth, not oughts.

 

No need to win while others lose,

When we can craft far better moves.

With give-and-take and honest ground,

We find solutions that astound.

 

I walk with risk, and that’s okay—
Not every outcome goes my way.
But still I choose with eyes awake,
And joy that’s real each move I make.

​

I choose to live by what is real,
Not how I’m told I “ought” to feel.
No blame, no praise to cloud my view—
I’m a Factualist. Are you too?

 

Not “right,” not “wrong,” not “pure,” not “bad”—
But does it help me live unclad
No masks that beg for others’ cheers,
While hiding doubt and feeding fears?

 

No moral mask, no looking good,
Just doing what I truly could.
To live with heart, and mind aligned,
Not chasing praise or role assigned.

 

I don’t need power plays or pride,

When truth and care can both reside.

I speak what’s real, I hear you too—

That’s how we build a bond that’s true.

 

I choose to live by what is real,
Not how I’m told I “ought” to feel.
No blame, no praise to cloud my view—
I’m a Factualist. Are you too?
