From a post a long time ago:
I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
'Nor are you in this world to live up to mine.
I am me and you are you
And if by chance we find each other
It's beautiful.
Someday we'll know if we find each other again. Now we just have to live in the moment. Not forgetting the past, but also not allowing it to dictate our futures to us. Today I spent some time reading some old lj entries from about three years ago. The more I reread what I wrote, the more I realized that the more I've changed the more I am the same as ever. For the most part I still want the same things I did then, and I still feel the same way about many things.
There is so much that I want to do. So many dreams I still want to achieve. Some things just don't matter as much anymore, and some matter a million times more than they used to. . . but the things themselves haven't changed.
The only person's expectations that I need to live up to are my own. I need to work on being the person that I want to be and worrying about whether I'm who you want me to be or not. I am not perfect. I have made many mistakes. So have you, but that isn't the point. The point is we must continue to be ourselves for ourselves and if we do find each other again it will be beautiful.
