Why do we as humans care so much about what other people think? Why do we constantly have to be pleasing other people, what is there to gain from that? I mean, I really don't think people get pleasure from sacrificing everything they are to make everyone else happy. When do we decide that it's time to concentrate on what makes us happy? To realize that being the person other people want you to be isn't necessarily what will make you happy.
It's time to be comfortable enough with yourself that you do things you want, because you want too. Not to please the world.

I had an interesting conversation with my sister today, she was talking about her irrational love for certain people. I talked about my irrational fear of lots of things.... I looked up the definition of irrational:
"without the faculty of reason; deprived of reason." Made me realize that I have no reason to fear most of the things I do, I have made a personal goal to get over all my lame fears. Like Calling to order pizza, Calling boys, Going through the drive through, having people in my space. The list goes on.
Don't apologize for being you.

The story of the life of anyone who is in high school. Humans are social creatures, and to be social, they seek acceptance. The way to seek acceptance is to follow the crowd. That is the sad, but true reality. Lets all be thankful we live in a country where being unique is okay and we won't be stoned for speaking out of line (sadly, this does still happen).
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I also fear calling people on the phone. Talking to someone while not being able to see their face is just daunting.
I also don't like ordering pizza
