We spend so much time focusing on what we "should" be doing or how we "should" be living our lives.
But what IS life?? Why does the whole phrase Live Your Life have to mean load up on friends and social gatherings,have a successful career,live on your own,etc...?
Who says that is the way to live your life? What if you're just supposed to grow spiritually and be a good person in order to be counted as a person who lived their life??
I just don't understand why people who don't have friends and connections have to be considered as not having a life.
If our lives are what we make them, why is it not ok to just be alone and be happy with yourself?? When did standard of living become a contest of how many friends we have and how many people value us? If we value ourselves is the rest REALLY that important? Does it really matter how many trips around the world you've made? Does it really matter how many people you'd have to attend your funeral? Isn't it enough to just be a nice person who is happy and content with the way they are without needing hoards of admirers and social gatherings to get fulfillment?
Why is it considered pathetic and indicative of loserville if your circle of friends are online? Why is it shameful to find yourself in love with someone you've conversed with via the internet? Who gets to judge these things and determine that they're not the way to live your life????
I'm rambling and probably not making much sense. This just popped into my head and I wanted to express it.
