crazy insane or insane crazy??? i can't decide
Todays's rant is what I have been thinking about for a while now. I just haven't had the guts to say anything about it. And since everyone is being open and honest about everything today, well I might as well be too and if people don't like it, don't bother to read any farther.
I am sick of trying to live up to everyone else's standards. Those of my parents, those of my friends, people at work, teachers. I am so sick and tired of people telling me how I should act with things and what I should do about things and how what I am doing is wrong. First of all, the choices I make are exactly that... mine. What I choose to do has nothing to do with anyone other than myself. Yes, there are many people that I do put before myself... but no one tells me I should do it. Second, I take criticism and hey if I agree I might try to make some improvements on myself. But don't expect me to change just to please you. I change to improve myself... to be happier with myself, that has nothing to do with anyone else. You can't try to change people to make them up to your own standards... it just doesn't work that way. Whether you literally try to change them or if you only do it within your own mind it is liable to just explode in your face. Seems like there are some people who surround me everyday that think that people aren't "good enough" for them. I have one thing to say to them... grow up and look around you.
in college we will see so much stuff. people will drink, they will do drugs, they will have sex... and guess what??? it's perfectly normal to see everywhere you go. even if you don't see it within your own school that you choose to go to, it will always be around.in college people find where they belong, they find someplace to finally fit in. there will be people who won't "meet your standards" and that is just a part of life. you will have to deal with all types of people in life, some of whom you won't like, or won't appreciate the things they do. but you will have to be mature about it, because that is what life is about.
and that made no sence... but hopefully something can come out of it.
