GOING AWAY FROM SOCIETY BELIEFS

By Matata Mercy

How many times have you tried to stray away from what society says is what you have to do and you went the other way?

Some people are so scared of what actually  the society will say when  they start doing certain things.

 I do have a  belief that your desires should come first before anything else in this world and if you are able to meet your desires then you will most likely be able to live a fulfilling life that you have always wanted to actually live.

For example society believes that when you have actually reached a certain age, you should actually get married but what if you are not ready to get married and you want to instead pursue your career first.

In such a situation, people will pile alot of pressure on you and make you feel like you are actually a failure in life. It is actually worse when you are a woman and people are telling you all this that you should get married since time is running out.

 If you are going to do the things that you want, you will need to actually have a thick skin that can be able to tolerate pass through all the wild things that people are going to through at you, the stigma can be very paralysing.

Being able to move away from what society says and what they think you should do takes alot of courage and in most cases, some people will just give up on their desires and succumb to that mediocre life that does not even inspire them but instead derails them and make them feel so bad about themselves.

Pleasing society and other people around might seem to be the right thing to do but in the longrun, you will realize that you actually made the biggest mistake of your life.

You should learn to take charge of your life and become the captain of your ship, not society. If the ship sinks when you are the captain, you will not have any regrets or atleast you will not regret like the way you actually would have if someone else took charge of your ship.

 I urge you to fire society beliefs or any other human being out there who is trying to control your life. Kick them out of your life, they do not deserve to be in your life if they are not making you happy.

 Your happiness matters more than any other human being on earth.

You should not sacrifice your life for people who will in the end turn out to be your enemy.

Society might have it's rules and regulations that you are supposed to follow, but you also do have a life that you want to live. Therefore go forth and start living the life that you want to live.
