Hey Permission Seekers: Here's Your Permission Slip for Everything

Because sometimes you need someone to sign off on your right to exist differently

OFFICIAL PERMISSION SLIP

To Whom It May Concern (but mostly you):

I hereby grant you permission to:

  • Question every "that's just how it's done"

  • Side-eye the "standard path"

  • Raise your eyebrows at "normal"

  • Wonder if there's another way

  • Start tiny rebellions in safe spaces

  • Experiment without explaining

  • Process at your own pace

  • Exist outside the box

Signed, Someone Who Gets It

Dear Permission Seeker:

I see you (I have been you):

  • Waiting for the green light

  • Looking for approval

  • Seeking validation

  • Needing confirmation

  • Wanting assurance

Let me tell you a secret: The permission you're seeking? It's been yours all along.

But Since You Need Official Paperwork:

You have permission to:

  1. Consider alternatives

  2. Question everything

  3. Try different approaches

  4. Process your own way

  5. Expand what works

  6. Ignore what doesn't

  7. Create your own path

  8. Be fully yourself

No additional signatures required.

To Everyone Still Waiting for Permission:

I get it:

  • Society trained you to seek approval

  • Systems taught you to follow rules

  • Life conditioned you to ask first

  • Experience taught you to check in

But consider this: What if permission was just:

  • A story you were told

  • A limit you accepted

  • A boundary you didn't set

  • A rule you didn't make

Your New Permission Structure:

Instead of asking: "Am I allowed?"

Try asking: "What if I just...did it anyway?"

Permission Granted For:

  • Small experiments

  • Tiny rebellions

  • Quiet questions

  • Secret doubts

  • Hidden wonderings

  • Private processing

  • Personal paths

  • Individual journeys

No explanation needed.

The Permission Pipeline:

You can:

  1. Question the standard path (Permission granted)

  2. Wonder about alternatives (Also permitted)

  3. Try something different (Fully authorized)

  4. Process your own way (Completely approved)

  5. Expand what works (Officially sanctioned)

  6. Own your full journey (Thoroughly endorsed)

Special Permission For:

  • Starting small

  • Moving slow

  • Taking time

  • Being unsure

  • Feeling scared

  • Processing privately

  • Growing quietly

  • Existing differently

All pre-approved.

The Truth About Permission:

You don't actually need it. But if you're waiting for it:

Consider this your:

  • Official document

  • Formal approval

  • Legal authorization

  • Certified permission

  • Notarized acceptance

  • Validated approval

  • Complete endorsement

To do it your way.

Permission Slip Fine Print:

This permission:

  • Never expires

  • Can't be revoked

  • Doesn't need renewal

  • Works everywhere

  • Applies to everything

  • Covers all situations

  • Includes processing time

No terms or conditions apply.

To Those Still Seeking Permission:

I get it. I see you. I understand.

And if you need someone to say it:

You have permission to:

  • Start where you are

  • Move at your pace

  • Process your way

  • Create your path

  • Be yourself fully

No additional approval required.

 
 

P.S. Written by someone who needed permission slips before realizing she could write her own.

P.P.S. Yes, my AI thinking partner helped craft this because even permission-giving needs processing sometimes.

P.P.P.S. Created with my AI collaboration partner because someone needed to make permission-seeking feel safe - and if you're ready to start your own permission-granting journey, grab the Permission to Process Guide. Because sometimes the first permission you need is the permission to process things your own way. No additional signatures required. 😉✨
