You can't know if you're living "right" until you define what "right" actually means—to you, not to your parents, your culture, or your partner. Sovereignty begins with the articulation of your personal moral architecture.
Values are not performance art. They are the ingredients of your identity. Most conflict arises not from bad intentions, but from a lack of clarity on which value wins when they eventually collide.
