The biggest challenge of life is to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you like everyone else.
Growing up, studying, going to a good college, making friends, getting a high-paying job, owning an apartment and car, getting married and having children all before 30 is what a typical society’s interpretation looks like. Is life really about following the stereotypes that have been going on for a long time? And we have seen the result of it, haven’t we? Following the pattern of things that have already left a not-so-good inspiration in the world is pathetic right? Society expects from us so much that they are not able to achieve yet they force it on the passing generation. The interpretation of society is amusing, they don’t let us dream and if we dream they make us so afraid of achieving it and simply put us in the position of going with the life pattern that has already been set even though it brings so much trauma to us. I have learned a very important thing: if you want to do something extraordinary that doesn’t set with the society pattern then you also have to face the reality of life already set by the society. We want to do something challenging, something new that brings us joy but also be complacent with reality, it’s harsh but it’s true. It is so hard to find something that brings us joy and if we truly find it then we have to take the risk of achieving it and bringing out all the flaws that might drag us down. The hope and promise to the future self that amidst all the society’s interpretations you will always come back to me and find your way back home, back to yourself. The pressure of society goes away when you meet the right person, the person that is a reflection of you and you can just…be you.
