unless they affect other people--individualism has to be balanced against community--we don't live in isolation. As the AAs said not long ago: https://jodieshelm.medium.com/individualism-is-a-good-thing-4c9a8478ff68 "Individualism does not mean you only care about yourself and forsake all others. On the contrary, it means being self-aware, so you know how you can best contribute to others and to the world. It does not mean you do whatever you want, despite the consequences." I'm sure you didn't mean otherwise Jodie but people will read your words and say, aha, Jodie says no one should make personal choices for me. I read with the eye of an editor and I often worry about saying things that can be taken out of context.
