Human

So today I was wondering.. why is it that people let others rule their own lives?  Now, I know this sounds like a total rant, but since no one is really around to read it, I'll write it anyways. But seriously, I can't remember one single person that hasn't showed that they need the approval of someone else, be it family member, friend or peers, to live the way they do. Why though? Your life and your choices will lead to YOUR fate right? and your destiny.. bla bla bla, ( I know, I sound like a bad sci-fi movie) So, if these people whom we so desperately seek attention from are irrelevant to our life's path, then why the hell should we care if they like our hairstyle, or boyfriend, or smoking habit, or anything we do! Why should we let them influence us the way they do? I really have no idea, but as I sit in front of this computer and contemplate this, I can't help but realize that maybe the sudden urge to write this post and ask these questions (to no one) may be a result of my sudden epiphany. I am SUCH a hypocrite. I go around telling people that they should live the way THEY want to and to do what THEY want to do, but I still ask myself stupid questions like: Will they like it? Will he think I'm stupid? What would my friends say? Yes, it is true. I care what people think, what people say.. but I can't help it, I'm human. Which is just about the most confusing thing their is in this world. And I won't promise to stop, because I can't. Much love xxx -M
