Following society's standards, does that make you too boring as an individual? Pushing the limits, rebellion, does that make you different, unique? How much do you fight for what you want, what weight do you give to your happiness over someone elses?
Every now and then I feel like I did everything too right. That does not mean that I am living in regret. I wouldn't change the past; it made me who I am today and I love who I am today. I feel so in control of myself, I feel powerful, I feel confident and I feel incredibly grateful for who I am. Through the test of time, I have learned to stand up for myself instead of trying to live my life to please others.
The world doesn't run with your rules. It has its own rules and YOU have to follow them, not the other way around. You must be thinking.. no way! I pave my own path to the future. If you are the only one paving this path, how do you know its straight? Are you looking to the person on your right and paving your path parallel to his/hers?
You can't pave a straight path to the future, and you can't make it shorter or longer. But what you can do is to build some mountains every now and then so that you can see the world around you from a higher perspective. But remember, every hill you climb requires more effort than the people around you who are following a straight path. And also remember that once you are on top of the hill, falling down is almost inevitable. So enjoy the ride, it will be over before you know it.
