Quote by Iggy Pop

I was who I was in high school in accordance with the rules of conduct for a normal person, like obeying your mom and dad. Then I got out of high school and moved out of the house, and I just started, for lack of a better term, running free.

I was who I was in high school in accordance with the rules

Summary

The quote highlights the transformative experience that occurs when an individual transitions from being in high school to moving out of their parental house. In high school, one is bound by societal norms and parental expectations, necessitating conformity and obedience. However, after leaving home, one feels liberated to begin living life on their own terms, challenging conventions and seeking personal freedom. The quote suggests that this newfound freedom allows individuals to explore and discover their true identity outside the boundaries set during their formative years.
