10 things your should realize yourself
1. Life is short, and it's not worth to do everything that everyone else thinks you should do in your life. Whoever writes the lists of 10, 100, or 1000 places, books, movies, things that you should do, see, or go to in your lifetime can do it for themselves. When you see a movie that is way too boring, it's not worth to spend 2 hours of your life to watch it just because someone else tells how important and well made that movie is. Similarly, you don't have to go to Xyz for its culture historical reasons if you find that boring.
2. Genealogy does not help you understand why you exist. Reading how Mr and Mrs Soandso moved from place x to y, and have 15 kids hardly gives the ultimate answer to why you are alive.
3. If you are a religious person, you should select your religion yourself. The one your parents believed in and brainwashed you to believe in is one of many. Pick the one that you like the most. It doesn't have to be (and hopefully is not) the one they tried to make you believe in. And if you believe in no religious ideology, good enough.
4. You will know best what kind of food your body likes. Eat vegan if you like, or eat nothing but red meat if you believe that is what your body wants. There are way too many vegenazis, meatnazis and people selling their dieting ideologies out there. Eat what your body craves.
5. YOU are responsible for YOUR life. Your parents made your childhood whatever it was, but when you are old enough to think for yourself and take care of yourself then it's your life. When you fail or don't succeed, quit blaming the society and the others or the circumstances.
6. Ideologies are ideologies. You don't have to believe in any.
7. You don't have to be part of a church, of a political party, or get married, or to have kids just because everyone else does and they are hinting that you should as well.
8. You are responsible for your own health. Not the doctors. You have what you got - no one has a perfect body so you may have asthma or rotten teeth or eczema or heart problems but that's what you got. Take care of your body and it will work better and last longer.
9. If you can't have any fun at all without alcohol, tobacco, any substance, or altered mind, then you have a problem.
10. No one has the right to make your life feel like s--t. Unless you give them the power to. Every day should be something to look forward to, if nothing else then to have a hot shower and a nice coffee for the morning. There has to be something good in every day of your life, or it's not worth it, and you have a bad attitude. Learn to be happy.
