Living life is hard to do for some people. We want to follow our own paths, but we have the expectations of the world weighing down on us. Our parents want these amazing things for us, our friends want some one to lean on, society wants the newest magazine cover. All we want is to be, who we want to be, and being great at that person.
It is easier said than done. What if what we want, isn't what our parents want.the ones who raised us, and have controlled us our entire lives must have some say or opinion in what we do and how we live, right? Our minds tell us to be free, but our concious says to obey and be the next president, when all we really wanted to be are the protesters.
Life is funny. We grow up being told what to do, wanting something else, and when we finally have the freedom to do so, we fall back into the arms of the controller. What we want is right in front of us, but the fear of letting down others, and not reaching the heights of the gods, brings us back to phase 1; having some one else decide our futures for us.
Garth Stein once wrote "That which we manifest is before us; we are the creators of our own destiny." Learn from that quote and live your life the way you wish to live it. We need to show that we CAN and WILLbe who and what ever we wish to be! No one else has a say but us. We are the creators of our own destiny, so create!
I know that it is a little repetitive, and the ending is corny, but I tried. :)
