its our life

people always tend to live their lives in the eyes of someone else, i can not say intentionally but somewhere in our sub conscious we want to be accepted, appreciated and more than anything loved. i know that i can not really say that i have stood up for myself in anything, not something that matters at least.
one group of people that we always want to impress are our parents, and its no guess why... needless to say the things they have been through to get us where we are now... sweat....blood... and tears (as the saying goes).
on the other hand, we need to find a time in our lives where we can now become us... the us that we have envisioned for ourselves. the dreams and goals that we have as people need to be released, and to quote another saying "we all have a purpose in life"... and as much as we would love to live the lives our parents have mapped out for us, some of us can not.
i think it is necessary to experince what life has to give you on your own two feet... how else will you ever get to say i have lived?
i know for one that i need to do this, take my own advice... i have this shell that i am living in that i can not get myself out of, or should i say refuse to get out of... i do not know how else to explain it.
i need to make the opposite of Jim Carrey in YES MAN nd be the NO GIRL.. (atleast sometimes...)
