Why do we spend so much time trying to impress others? Looking for everyone else's acceptance? Why should I altar my life simply to please someone else who doesn't even care about me? And no I am not talking romantically; I'm talking about on a daily basis: the best of friends, family (with exceptions in my opinion), and even strangers. If I'm not hurting or disrespecting anyone else, then why shouldn't I be able to live my life the way that I want to live it? Be the person I want to be? Act however I want to act? Listen to whatever the hell type of music I feel like listening to? All without being judged? What I do is up to me. How I choose to spend my free time is up to me. I hope I'm not offending anyone with what I choose to do, but I don't seem to be affecting or disrespecting anyone else. Who knows how long we have on this Earth? Live your life in color. Don't try to live anyone else's. Find yourself and just do you. I have come across a few inspiring people lately and they have really opened my eyes to life and existence. Spend your time making both yourself and others happy. Be a good person. Spread good vibes. Be caring and loving. Do what you love and love what you do. Please others to a certain extent, but you have to learn that at times you must be selfish to protect yourself and your morals. Please remember to smile as much as you can and slow down to enjoy life.
