Just what I thought while chatting with a friend about his problems, and about this female singer who got into a huge controversy with the first album she produced for herself at 22 years old.
Some people.. No, many people. Many people just want to do what they enjoy doing, what they're passionate about. But sometimes things don't turn out so well. Perhaps that's because every individual has a different outlook and understanding of the world. We view the world differently, we have different values of what's important, and what's right or wrong. But who are we to put these values onto other people? We don't know what they're going through, or where they're coming from.
Life is tough.
So many people just want to do the things that they really enjoy doing. But some people enjoy doing things that aren't expected of them. Some university graduates dream of selling chocolates at airports. Some people say that's crazy, why is this graduate putting his degree and intelligence to waste. But what do they know?
The world thinks you have to be successful in your career because you're smart, you're meant to be successful, or at least be doing something that most people in your league are doing. Otherwise, you're weird. Strange. Crazy. Lazy. Useless. Stupid. Or just downright mad.
We all die, eventually. But how many of us lived? Lived the life we wanted, not what others think is normal.
Life. Is tough.
I knew that many, many years ago.
And I'm feeling it again.
But I'm fine.
It's tough, it's a fact that I know all along, but it doesn't bother me as much anymore.
May everyone else be at peace with how tough life is. No point dwelling on how hard it is. We're not going anywhere with that.
