On Self-Reliance Part 2

Fear of judgment stops us from doing things we want to do. It stops us from being who we really are. Children don’t have that fear, they simply don’t care. And why would they? They shouldn’t have to worry about what the public would think of them. They act however they want because they want to. So why don’t we? You can act a certain way and be someone you’re not, or you can be yourself. Either way people will judge, there’s nothing we can do about it. Might as well be ourselves and act the way we do because it really doesn’t matter. I understand that the craving of acceptance is strong and keeps us from being who we really are, but at the end of the day if you don’t like who you are then it’s not worth it. Society shouldn’t have a say in who we “need” to be. Its our lives, its our choice.

I Aint Got Time For This

Now a lot of people stress about time. Saying school and sleep takes up most of their day, which it does. We all go to school for about 6-7 hours and wonder what the hell we’re even doing there because most of the things our teachers teach us seem useless. Most of us probably spend most of our time complaining about it and then complaining about how little time we have left to do things.  I won’t lie, i spend my time doing the exact same thing. When i come home from school i don’t even do much. I sometimes do hw as fast as i can in the middle of the night. I procrastinate on doing it each day. But it doesn’t take up a lot of my time. No, what i do most is text my friends, go on social media, or watch some lame show on Netflix. I don’t use my time “correctly” or “well”. That’s just because I haven’t tried to, but I’m doing it right now typing this blog post. I guess that counts for something. Right?

On Self-Reliance Part 4

“To be great is to be misunderstood”. Many people back then had great ideas bit were misunderstood by many people. “We pass for what we are”. You can try to cover yourself and hide behind this mask but our inner self will always come out. One way or another. You cant hide who you are forever, and you shouldn’t have to. I feel like i made a difference in my friends lives. Im like a safe place for them, someone they can go to with their problems. I’ll listen to them and try my best to help them even if i have problems of my own. I like making sure they’re okay, anyone would want that for their friends.
