Over the past year, I've realized something huge. And I've acted on it.
I notice, nowadays, all my peers and friends think too much of what other people think of them.
Many of these people, we will only be with for two or three more years. So will it really matter what they think of you? Or how you look or what you like to them?
My point today:
Don't care so much about what others think of you. Do what you love and what you want to do in your life. Because if you just do things that people think are "cool", without doing the things you love, you're going to have serious regrets.
And if people think you're a freak or give you weird looks? Screw them. Do what you love.
I swear, if many of my peers did this, I think we'd all be happier.
After last year, being quiet and distant from everyone else, worrying about whether what I was saying or doing was along the "cool" standards, I came to realize that it didn't matter if I was cool, or if I was popular. It didn't matter what the other kids thought of me, if I was enjoying being myself, then hell, I was going to do it.
And when lots of people say "be yourself", do it. You'll most likely be happier.
Because now on, I am truly being myself.
And I would love it if others around me would be themselves as well.
