writes:What is life when you don't have a shoulder to cry on, happiness to share, family to love? Nothing. This is something personal that I would like to share. Hoping to make a change of opinion in people's minds. All my life, I have always thought that happiness was a destination. I succeeded a thousand times, but if I did how did I lose it as faster than I achieved it? Happiness, one word, everyone's ambition. I say, happiness is nothing but a mood. Life is difficult, sure as hell. We make it even more complicated by saying stuff like 'I just want to be happy'.Trust me, every time I've felt that happiness on one day, I have felt the pain. The pain of what the society expects from you. The looks, the behavior, the everything. How am I supposed to cope up with such expectations? How are all of us supposed to cope up with the way people are. Expectation from society and appreciation made me the person that I was. Skinny, well dressed, arrogant and everything else that I am now ashamed off. But that is one road that I will never pass again. I say STOP. One day, I looked in the mirror and asked myself, how did I become like this? I was ashamed of how I was. I was mean. I do not say society expects you to be mean, but when you do get accepted by people, you do think full of yourself.I did not have any real friends beside me. I didn't have a bond with my family as well. And relationships were tough. Mostly because of me.The mirror changed me. I am now a better person. I am strong of who am I and I don't care about what others say. Trust me, I am much happier. I am more confident around people. And most of all I'm happy. I do have my sad times, my heart broken and everything else like a teenager but one thing is, that I am proud of myself for changing. When I grow old, I won't regret the person that I used to be.If you are YOU. Nothing will stop you. Because people who judge are the ones who are losing out on us. I say go look at yourself in the mirror and do you see someone that YOU want to be and not what others are expecting from you?If you think about what others say all your life, you will never live. :)

YES! I agree with you wholeheartedly. I have always been the brainy philosophical type, and I have accepted that a long time ago. Ever since I accepted myself, I was able to accept other people. It's pretty amazing because you start seeing the way people really are and the differences are interesting.
