If you feel like you don’t belong, just take a deep breath and talk and/or write it out.
This may just seem like the most tedious thing ever that has absolutely no point what so ever, but I urge you to just listen. I for one have been a people-pleaser my whole life, and I have always tried my best to mold myself to some I might not be for the pleasure of others. I have spent too much time trying to look like someone I don’t want to be, join activities that I’ve wanted to be a part of or even just try to blend in. All of these have one thing in common; These activities made me feel insignificant and put me through torture. I never gained anything from it, and I’m pretty sure that I never will. After bending over backwards trying to make people happy, I just crashed and burned on the inside. I felt like most of the people around me don’t know me and who I am on the inside. And at this point in life, I’m pretty sure that I am not the only one who feels this way. This has taught me to put my all into whatever I am currently doing and to just be happy. There is no point dwelling on the past. Instead, I think we should look to better ourselves and fix our mistakes in the future.
Now moving on from my mindless and personal babble, here’s what I really wanted to tell you: Do what makes you happy and not what makes others happy. This may seem like a meaningless quote, but it really is a rule to live by. Live your life the way you want to live it. Don’t be bossed around and controlled by the people around you, even if they are your friends, your family, your employer or whoever else you might have in your life. Because in the long run, they will not matter. If you ever feel like you need someone to talk to, just email me at blogafterblog21@gmail.com, it only takes as long as you want it to take, and I can promise you that just the act of venting can and will help.
I truly hope that you can take a minute out of your day and think about life and the control you have over it.
