I accidentally saw this quote today on Pinterest and it made me stop and soak up the words.
As I write this, I am unemployed. I think I created a blog post before, about how I want to live life on my own terms. I’ve never actually liked being in an office and it was never my dream. I took up that line of course because of my mom and for security. I didn’t realize it before, but now I do.
All my life, there was always a need for me to please people. As long as they approve, I’m good. Hence, it’s never been easy for me to make decisions without first consulting about other’s opinions.
When I quit my job last year, I knew I was going to have a hard time internally. I was right. Every day is like a battle between me and myself.
I feel guilty for not having a job.
But I feel at peace for earning money without employment.
I feel empty at the end of the day.
Yet I have hope that I can discover more about myself and succeed one day.
I guess I just wanted to share how it’s so difficult when you start to think for yourself, live life based on your own principles, and not conform to society’s idea of what you should be.
Life is never about following someone’s footsteps just because they were deemed “right” or “safe.”
Life is all about making your own set of footsteps in the world.
