One of the greatest feelings in life is coming to the point in your life when you realize what's important in your life and how the things that used to worry you don't matter at all. Most young kids are entirely themselves, they show unconditional love to others and do not judge. They don't care what you think about them. However, at a certain point, usually during grade school and especially middle school, children feel peer pressure to act certain ways in order to be popular. This usually backfires. I myself am often a people pleaser. However, I am finally at the point, at 22 years of age, when I realize that being my self will be more pleasing to others than not. I need to make decisions about what I want to do in my free time and who I want to be with. I have to decide how I am going to act at work and be careful with the words I choose. I realize that not saying how I feel about something only festers more negative feelings. I see individuality as being wonderful. However, often people lose themselves in the crowd, hoping to be put on a pedestal. In reality, you are selling yourself short. All in all, whatever you do with your free time, whatever your profession is, whatever you choose to say, make sure it is YOU who is in charge.
