Your entire life people are going to try to tell you what to do. You can’t listen to them though. This is your damn life. You need to live it how you want, and you need to do what makes you happy, even if it’s only temporary and even if no one agrees with what you’re doing. Don’t be timid. You don’t want to look back on your life and wish you would’ve done this or that. You can never take anything back, even the bad things. You know what’s best for you. You know what you need to do.
Do what you want. Do what you want and need to do to make you happy. Even if everyone around you is telling you no; even if everyone around you is telling you how stupid you’re being. Not one person on this planet knows you better than you know yourself. And half the time you already have made up your mind about the problem or situation you’re thinking about. It’s okay to listen to others people’s advice. Don’t be rude about it, some people have valid points. But don’t; don’t do something just because of what someone else says.
Your life is going to be full of mistakes. You’re going to mess up, you’re going to do something you shouldn’t have, and you’re going to be an idiot at times. It’s okay! You’re going to learn from all of these. Hell, I’m only 21 and I’ve done plenty of stupid things. I continue to do them all the time!! I am going to continue to do them for the rest of my life! However, those stupid things that I’ve done have always taught me something. I have never once made a decision in my life that I haven’t learned from. They have all helped shape me into who I am so far. And yes, I say so far because I don’t believe that one person ever stays the same their whole life. People always change. Decisions you make in your life will always affect you. Yet all those mistakes I made were great, and I don’t regret making any of the dumb decisions I have. Plus, some of them were so fun to make. 😉
There are so many people in your life, and I’m sure every single one of those people want to give you advice or their input on nearly everything you do. Which is fine, it’s okay to listen to other people and hear what they have to say. It’s refreshing at times! It’s nice to be able tell a person about something, and hear their thoughts on the situation—sometimes they can point out things you didn’t see before that could help you. But opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and sometimes they are full of shit. SO DON’T TAKE EVERYONE’S OPINION TO HEART. Please for the love of god have a mind of your own. Listen to others inputs and then evaluate them responsibly. Don’t change your mind just because of what others think.
Whatever it may be in your life, if it’s a big life changing thing, if it’s small, WHATEVER. Do you what you believe is best for you at the time. Do what is going to make you happy. Do what you want. Other people will never know how you feel. Only you know what is best for you and what you really want to do and need. Have the balls to live your own life, and make your own decisions. You will never regret it.
