An email with the subject that read something like, “Ways to Make People Like You” inspired me this morning to say, “*expletive* directly off.” All that matters is that you like you. And as oversimplified as it may seem, it’s true. We already know how to live life, we just keep trying to fit into this outer reality. It does nothing for individuality. Which is why so many are unhappy. Which is why I was so unhappy. So I’m speaking from experience.

I’ve done what others thought I should do and while I had some fun, it landed me in a pile of ashes. Then I decided to do what I wanted to do and life changed completely. Get to the essence of “you do you” and you’ll see how life is best lived. Just remember as you go, you do not know what’s best for others, but you do know what’s best for you. Embrace that, and life will begin to unfold anew.
