Being Yourself

It's hard for me to come to the realization that some people feel that they are constantly under scrutiny to be like other people. That people outside of the circumstances one is in will tell you how they think you should handle a situation. However, they are not in it and they won't be able to tell you the true answer of how they would manage those circumstances. That because this person or that person doesn't understand why you do the things you do or say the things you say. If you start to agree with them that means you are wrong and they are right. The reality of the situation is that you don't know enough about who you are to trust yourself enough if this is happening. In the process you will never truly find happiness or love or anything besides that feeling of never quite being enough.

I urge everyone to make decisions based on your standards and not someone elses. By allowing other people to make decisions on situations that they are not intimately involved in, you will most certainly lose- and lose yourself in the process.

Be Kind.
