There is more to life than being what other people want you to be.

Like being a good student, an artist, a successful individual? Is hard to think otherwise.

Who defines any of those things? How do you know when you're finally successful?

Success in all the little things. Like in competitions, in fitting into the crowd in church, in school, in everywhere. Okay so maybe those things are not that little.

I'd say I define what those things are but everyone else defines them too. And so their definitions uh. Screw around with mine?

Yeah, it's not little, I guess, but it depends. Maybe we need to focus not on what we need to be, but on being content with who we are. Maybe we need to stop thinking so much about what others think, and more of how we view ourselves.

But you're right, you know. I think, acceptance by other people is really important to a lot of us. Especially the people whom we look up to, or care for.
