picture for your entertainment, dear readers. gah. what a goofball.
As of late, I've realized the extreme importance of maintaining one's independence. By maintaining independence, I don't mean living as a hermit free from the ideas, expectations, or help of others; but rather, living in community with others while sticking to the sincerity of your soul. It's important to live according to your own values, free from the expectations of others.
If we aren't independent, we will rarely achieve our goals and therefore rarely ever achieve happiness. This independence is strongly rooted in self validation and faith. It gives you a clear vision making it easier to help others, solve your own problems, and even strengthen the relationships in your life. To achieve this self reliance, you must realize that you don't need the approval of others to succeed.
You stand proud, you stand tall, and you let society's expectations just roll right off your back. And I promise, This leads to immense joy.
I might be slightly idealistic, maybe even a little naïve. But who cares, I'm independent.
And I'm on the pursuit of happiness.
