No fancy writing, just my thoughts...

So Ive lived a few years  on this earth, years in which I have acquired a decent amount of wisdom or so I'd like to think. Yet with all these years lived, I still can't understand one thing, why everyone's opinions seem to take center stage in our lives, pushing our very own to the back until they almost cease to exist. Why does it seem like we live for other people and care so little about living for us?

I keep thinking, Why do we think every guy's not good enough, it's not about the high standards we set for ourselves, it's the standards we think other people have set for us. Why do I take extra effort getting ready if I know am meeting a few friends? It's because I care what they think of my appearance. Why will I rethink a post before i put it up on twitter or facebook? It's because I don't want PEOPLE to THINK am uncool or boring or any other negative perception. Why do I feel better every time someone says Ive lost weight yet I  claim not to really care. Why do people's thoughts matter anyway???

So public opinion maybe a way to discover flaws previously not obvious to ourselves but as I have learned, public opinion is usually wrong. I'd back up my argument with an 'Enemy of the People' and everything the book represents. The public doesn't always have the right opinion!

So I guess it's about taking a  concious decision, not to be fake in a bid to get acceptance but simply not caring and being you, whether they take it or leave it!
