let them know that you realise that life goes fast and its hard to make the good things last.
-Flaming Lips
The world is full of stupid people.
No one realises that they are blindly going through every day.
You think yourself an exception
Well unless you are the messiah or jesus, and no you aren't, you are NOT doing what you want.
You are either doing what your MOM or your DAD wants you to do, or conversely what SOCIETY wants from you.
Now, if you are intelligent enough to go ahead and figure out what You really want it, you have to realise there will be alot of resistance, from WITHIN and WITHOUT.
WITHOUT
Your parents, who want you to be an architect, a christian protege, a perfect mom, a doctor, a financial wizard, kind, strong, courageous, intelligent, aspiring, rich, and better, stronger, more intelligent than you ever are. In other words a perfect android version of themselves.
Note: THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE
Then why do so many people think that they have to do what their parents want them to do?
They believe that their parents are GODS.
No? You're not controlled by your parents? Well notice how your behaviour changes around them, either to please them or to go against what you really want.
So how do they stop being GODS to you?
Well you can realise this, when, and only when, you have a DIFFERENT relationship with them than you did, say when you were 14. You talk to them as fellow adults, you converse philsophically, politically, realisticly, openly about life and love and happiness and sadness. That is of course if you are lucky enough to have open and understanding parents. If you have the more shitty kind, then you sort of hope for short conversations with polite silences, or at the most alienation of some sort. NO MORE UMBILICAL CORD.
All of this is not easy. Parents have access to most of your insecurities and hard decisions, they will most likely think they know better or ask very hard questions to answer. These recqure practise to handle or avoid.
