A question I have been asked made me inspired to write this post.🦋
Someone:🎀 “But you weren’t really happy doing that job, right?”
“No, actually I wasn’t. I just thought that I was supposed to do that .....maybe it helps me in future 🙌
I thought unconsciously that others expected me to find a job in the field I majored in. It was just an easy way out when someone asks me what I was doing with my life because honestly, I really do not know what I’m doing. N' during this lockdown staying free n' doing nthg was sucking 🥴
When saying that out loud, I found it ridiculous how I put others first instead of myself. And what is “supposed to” anyway?! There is not a specific description how to live your life, and what we are supposed to do according to our gender, age, ethnicity, college degree, and many more things. Still, some things never change. Fast forwarding to 2018, people are STILL judging you how you supposed to live your life. But I have good news for you:
We can fill in our life just the way we want.
Yes, people will judge you anyway, they will always think they know more about your own life than yourself. But, you have the choice to not listen to them, to have your own judgment towards your own life, to take advice which you think will work in your favor.
But that’s it.
Don’t let others get inside your head – don’t let others persuade you to think you are supposed to take that specific job, or date that specific guy/girl, or look in a specific way, or live in a specific country. Getting married at a certain age, act in an appropriate way based on your appearance.
You are not supposed to believe in everything the media broadcasts, or what your history books tell you. You are and should able to perceive and judge for yourself. You don’t need to explain it to others, especially those who don’t take any important space in your life.
You know what we all have in common? Well, maybe you didn’t know it yet, but all of us possess a book from day one. Each one of us starts with the same blank spaces. Then we fill it in with chapters as time passes by and by doing so, we turn those same blank spaces into unique stories 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
