Don’t Follow Life’s Script

[Joey]

You don't have to follow life's script.

You don't have to have kids. You don't have to get married. Do whatever makes you happy.

We live in a time where so many others compare themselves with other people and end up in careers/situations that makes us unhappy and regret it.

Maybe you don't want to go to college and you just want to go straight into trade school. Maybe you just want to go straight into retail and work your way up to management. Maybe you want to be a bartender and your passion is mixing cocktails for that perfect taste. Maybe you want to be a manager at a fast food place or restaurant.

People will judge you regardless and who the hell cares of what people think on what you do that makes you happy. You only have one life and make your own legacy. Careers/priorities change over time. In your 20s, you would be an accountant but then in the next 10 years, you would want to be a nurse.

Stay away from people that are toxic in your life. Hangout with your own groups of friends.

Believe on whatever you want to believe and on what religion you preferably choose. You want to be an atheist and hangout with those people? Go for it! You want to hangout with Christians and go to church, go for it! People will shame you regardless of it. Just don't be an ass and bash someone's religion just because you are atheist. Mind your own business and let them do them. Because in reality, NO ONE KNOWS on what happens after we die. Yes scientists say that it's all in the brain and our consciousness ceases to exist but where does it come from? Science does play a huge in our lives and we do need it.

No I won't start a religious debate but I hope you guys can use this advice.

I realized that in this modern world, we have to seek out our tribe, not the one we're born into or stuck in by circumstance.

Very well said. There is no correct role to play, you need to fit one that suits you. It's not a linear game where you have certain skills and values and want to get them as high as possible. You can do whatever you want for whatever reasons. Doing something just because it's fun and kinda cool is perfectly valid.

 

[Life sucks]

Don't follow the societal and biological programming.

I wish I had had this advice in my younger years. Younger people need to hear this in order to know they are not alone and that their dreams matter

So many people are telling you, you have to do this by age x or do this or you can never do this. I've noted that all those expectations are depressing after a while.

what the fuck is wrong with you? there is no logical reason to post this besides wanting to hurt someone.

@JoeeWasHere, those are words of wisdom. I just want to warn younger members that the older you get and the more you deviate from life's script the stronger you need to be. It's easier to deviate when you're young and the majority of your peers live different lives, but not so easy when you get older and the majority of your peers live more or less identical lives. To be true and honest to yourself and not budge to norms and peer pressure is probably the most rewarding and fulfilling way to live, but it's not easy and it's sometimes painful.

Settle down buddy. This joke align well with don't follow life's script. I have no intention to hurt anyone. It's a hyperbole for this thread. Language is art. We can play with it. HYPERBOLE. Your passionate response and cussing aligns well to.

I guess what I've meant to say was be careful what you wish for

That almost sounds like an apology. I think your original post is perfect as it is.

Yeah he got nothing to apologize for. What you said is on point? If my joke derails the purpose of your message. My apologies. Don't beat yourself up buddy. We're all here for you. I learn a lot from your post. Keep doing what you're doing. You're good buddy

I guess I lost it yesterday. I feel like my reality is slipping away again. not an excuse. so apologies.

I've never been one to really care what people think, yet be extremely upset if it causes unhappiness. I do and say things that don't match one day after another if not one hour after another. not being consistent means people don't want to stick around and if they do they usually try to use it against me.

now I'm rambling.

I guess I don't have an option but to follow my own script because the script changes so frequently.

I completely agree with this post, people are very influenced by what others expect of them instead of planning their lives as they want to live them.
