Life, Inspired

Do you sometimes feel that you’re being ignored? Not just you, but everything about you? 

I’ve felt and sometimes still feel this way once in a while. I feel like my whole self, even my character is ignored. That my qualities aren’t noticed because it’s not on the list that people are looking for. It hurts.

It hurts to know that people expect you to change because you don’t meet their criteria. How unfortunate is it that YOU have the change your ways, your lifestyle in order to be the person OTHERS want you to be. Then again, who are you to please? Your life does not belong to anyone else but you. Again I ask, why should other people’s opinion and thoughts about you matter?

Well, they shouldn’t, to an extent. We are all different, we come from different back grounds, experiences and along with it, various struggles and downfalls. That doesn’t mean we lack the understanding of one another. What we lack is the ability to acknowledge our differences and continue with our lives.

I don’t want you to be ignored as I have. The thought on its own is painful. Bear with me when I say this. You are who you are because of the life ahead of you and the people you will enjoy it with. Those who put you down now are ones secretly cheering you on because they’ve already missed their opportunity. You’ve got no one to prove, just a life to live. Live a life, inspired.
