My parents once told me that everything you do is for yourself.
Because you were born alone and you will die alone.
You should not satisfy other people if you are not okay with it.
A good example was don’t do what your friends do if you are aware of it not being okay.
Because maybe they know what they’re doing and you don’t.
You will have a bad reputation and fail at things, where they don’t.
Or maybe they will succeed in life where again, you don’t.
It will suck for you and only you.
Most people here on earth only care for themselves.
Maybe you’re not the same, you are different, you want to help others.
And that’s okay.
The world needs a change.
But what I don’t get is why our parents force us to have good grades.
Where maybe they don’t know what’s happening in our life.
They are too busy doing their things that clearly are more important than their children.
Where things are happening right in front of their nose.
And they have the audacity to be mad at us.
Or they are against your way of expressing your feelings because it is different than theirs and they are embarrassed by yours.
Forcing you to be like them.
But not everyone is the same.
If I’m okay with being alone, how I express myself and most of all if it makes me happy why should I do what makes YOU happy?
Telling me to do different than what you printed in my head.
“Do what makes you happy. Because you are born alone and you will die alone.”
So, I am telling you, if I were you I’d just be YOU.
Be your true self.
Love yourself.
You are one of a kind.
No one and I can tell you no one can take your place.
So I repeat and I change the question
“If your parents, family or even friends jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?” And your answer should be “I’m a leader not a follower.”
