How To Be You
Don’t listen
When they tell you what to love
Don’t listen
When they tell you what to hate
Don’t listen
When they tell you who to love
Don’t listen
When they tell you who to hate
Don’t listen
When they tell you what to do
Don’t listen
When they tell you how to feel
Don’t listen
When they tell you how to live
Question everything

You’ve managed to learn this lesson at a much younger age than I did and you will be a lot more happier the I have been until I learned that lesson.
PoojaG
Yeah I’m lucky to understand this at an early age. If you spend your life trying to please others you will never be happy yourself.

Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it. Yeah it’s very easy to become a people pleaser but it’s a lot more fun to do what you want to do and live your own life the way you see fit.

Whole industries exist to tell people what to think. Advertising, what to buy, PR what to think and believe; too many of us have our minds taken over by these.
PoojaG
That is so true. There’s a large part of the media telling us what to look like and act like and unfortunately too many people fall for it but it’s important to know yourself and what’s truly right and wrong.
