How many of you like the way your life is going?
I did something similar to this a while back, about if you would be happy with what you have done, and whether or not you would have regrets. Will this is a little different... Are you living your life the way you want to live it? Do you feel too constrained? Too sheltered by your parents? I feel a little constrained by mine, but if I really want to do anything, I could get away with it.
Do you know where you're going? How you're going to get there? Are you sure of your decisions? Are you confident enough to speak your mind and know your friends will still be there? I see so many people that seem to fake everything, resort to ways to forget about things. It made me realize how different I am. I'm not the kind of person who needs to go crazy to have a good time, I'm not that rebellious. I often don't care about what other people think, to a certain extent. I'll rethink my opinions often, second guess some of my decisions. I'm not afraid to admit that I'm wrong at times. I've just noticed that I have a focus, and I'm sure of myself. I see that in a lot of people my age, that they aren't sure, they don't know what to do.
Sometimes I wonder how I can be so sure, I just don't have the worries about failing, about things going wrong. When things go wrong, I prefer to learn from it rather than sit there and dwell about it. There are still some things I'm not sure about, but I always play it by ear. I've been confident enough to trust my decisions, and I never put myself into a situation where I wouldn't have options. I know what I want, and I don't need others telling me what to do most of the time. I'll ask for others opinions, but I always end up formulating my own. I like to take the best of both worlds.
It's like an invincible feeling sometime, but not the kind of where I could do whatever I want. I do what I want, and I think about nearly everything. I just don't go with the flow when there's a chance of me being screwed over. I just know my decisions aren't going to lead me into trouble.
As a result, I am living life the way I want to. There are always constraints I have to work with, society, nature, parents, anything. However, they haven't been able to take away what I believe in the most, what I really desire, and I've made sure that they won't. I don't feel like there isn't anything stopping me from accomplishing my goals, I just have to be patient, stay the course, and I'll be fine.
There are a couple of people who I know who are incredibly good at being themselves, and resisting other influences. They seem to know what they're doing and as a result, they may face the price of not having as many friends, not being liked by some. But they're doing what they want to do, and I think that's the most important thing in life.
