How popular are you?
Well, that doesn't really matter ! I mean, you're not the center of the Universe . And neither was Jesus or Hitler 😉, or the guy selling ice cream at the corner of the street. Yeah you have family or maybe friends that are interested in parts of your life and help you at times when you need. What about your boss, the coworkers - do they notice how you're dressed today, how you were at the meeting? Probably not, as they don't care about you as much as you do? And hell no, very probably not even yourself give a shit most of the times in the day about what's going on with you!
Oh come on, you know what i'm talking about right? That moment when you light up a cigarette to be cool? That shit's not good for you man; eating a sandwich at 🍔 McD ? How much of that chicken breast is meat, 20% ?? Crossing the street on Red Light? Maan you color blind, or try to kill yourself?
What about your cousin? You two are close; but lately you started to like her soft hugs and her smell? Dude don't even go there! That's for Game of Thrones only 😆! Yeah, they do that in that porn action movie.
And you remember that moment you met this beautiful girl in this bar in Bangkok, and you danced all night, shared stories, had some good holding hands moments, and you thought she's the one when she asked you to come to her hotel room while mentioning you're the first guy she's ever asked to do that !? You're there, and she now closes the lights while fixating you with her big eyes, Ed Sheeran on the background, and she kisses you faster and faster, raising her body up to your lips, adrenaline pumping in, she asks you to open your mouth, and in the darkest room possible - instead of licking a sweet asian pussy -as soon as you open your jaw, a thick object invades your mouth going down your throat,the ballsack hitting your chin like a wreckin' ball, and all of a sudden Sheeran turns into hardcore Marilyn Manson!! Yeah dude, you suck dick 😆!! You quickly recover from the shock, throw her him over and quickly grab your clothes to run out of there :)) ! That's definitely not good for you lol.
Yes it did boy. But guess what, no one cares. No one remembers your mistakes. Here and there few will have faded memories, but that's it. Why would you care what people think how you look, why would you be anxious of other's judgements about you? This way of thinking will often lead you to take poor decisions about how you live your life, how you lay out your emotional energy or what you focus on. (And of course, your naughty habits.)
So don't try to live for others, don't try to impress them, or to make others to like you . Cause you may never be fully satisfied no matter the rewards or the praises you receive. You're free to try better, free to do better and learn something new and healthier for you. There's a lot of garbage we've been taught to live with and to incorporate in our lives: like work hard to earn bags of money; go out with friends and spend what you've earned; buy a house, a car etc. Leave all that crap behind, cause nobody gives a dime anyway. If you live a balanced and healthy life, and be happy doing what you think is best, then live it at its fullest! Cause life is short anyway, so why not just be happy doing it your way 😉
So let's leave all the preconceptions, mentalities or other worries we may have about fitting in, and just be yourself, be (a responsible) crazy soul. Are you ready to reset your life, and truly live?
