While growing up, a lot of us had different people around us who felt like this is how you should do things, this is how this should go, this is how you should live your lives, and all that. Most times, those people are our parents, and I very well understand that they just wanted the best for us. But then, we find out that we're living our lives according to what people/someone expects or wants us to and not according to how we actually want.
As a young guy, I've come to realize and understand that we all are different, and so is our journey. I have friends my age who have a house of their own, cars, and good jobs and are already married, while I'm still here trying to find my feet and feed myself. And trust me, I'm genuinely happy for them, and I know that mine is coming very soon too, so this is just life; it doesn't mean I've failed.
Also, looking back at things now, I can say that my life didn't follow the path/script I wanted it to; I remember how I had imagined living my life and how I calculated things back then. But now here I am; stuff happened along the way that made me lose balance, some took things away from me, time went by without waiting for me, and some of my dreams are now on hold. However, I've learned that delay is not denial. I know I will get it; I know I will surely attain that height. As long as I keep going and make the right choices, then the top is sure for me.
I don't live my life to please anyone. Yeah, I seek advice and ask for opinions and all, and still I know that whatever step I take and any decisions I make, I will be the one to live with it. Though I'd always keep in mind to do the right things, because even though I know I will have to live with whatever the consequences of my decisions are, either good or bad, it will also affect my loved ones too.
So, here's me working towards becoming someone that I will be proud of, working towards a life of peace and fulfillment, and not someone trying to meet people's expectations. It is my life, no doubt about that; even still, I have people who are connected to it, and my decisions can also affect them.
