"You can't live your life for other people.
You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love."
It can be very tiring having to live up to people's expectation; especially our loved ones. & I wasn't talking about having to please one person. It would have been much easier trying to please one but imagine having to divide yourself catering to at least gazillions of people, including strangers in life. Yes, strangers.
It is very upsetting to see your dearest one being hurt because you can't fulfill their hopes. Some kept silence but there are people who would show their disappointment as vividly as clear water.
Know what annoys me? Seeing people getting paranoid of trying to please just about everyone around them. Apparently, they failed to realize that they have their own life to be happy too. And while they are busy trying to make everyone around them happy, they forget just who to be thankful for at the end of the day. They forget to spend few minutes of 5 times a day to the One whom they should be worrying trying to please.
I am not one of the pious ones who seek to Him every single day and pray. But for what I know, I am thankful for every single day for I am still given the chance to live. From Him I get my happiness and to Him, I shall return those moments with prayers.
I do not have the slightest worried of not being able to please people around me. Just disappointment when I disappoint them. I tried my best not to upset anyone but I know my limits of having to make everyone happy. I also know my positions of expecting people to please me. Though at times, it hurts when I expect someone to do or say something just to make me feel happy, but I understand that we are, afterall, humans who are helpless and cannot escape from mistakes.
The World would have been a better place without these people who complaint of not being satisfied with their life, people who are constantly worried trying to spend their time to please everyone. It would have been a better place if one would simply stand up for their rights to make themselves happy and also just to please the only One.
It would have been better, wouldn't it?
Just Being Honest,
