Living your life

I live by one moral, that everyone should live their own life and go by their own trail and let no one else change their path. Ive written essays about this, and even attempted to give inspirational pep talks to friends in dilemmas. That is my message I try to convey to others. People do try to influence the path you take and the way you take it. That is why I think you should not let these people change your trail.

My father has very strong opinions on multiple debatable topics. Opening the border... the war in Iraq, and Gay Rights. Me personally, I try to stay neutral on topics such as these. He was ranting to me about gay rights recently, and he was useing rude and vulgar terms. For the first time I looked at him and thought, "Oh my god, I do not want to ever speak an opinion like this on anyone ever." It struck me that moment, he was pushing his opinions on me to eventually have a second version of himself.

And yet, I could be called a hypocrite. I try to inspire my peers everyday I am around them. Why am I so controversial towards myself? I think it is because I always want the best for them. But again it brings up me asking myself why is my father doing this to me? Is this what he considers the best for me? No, it is not. Any word that is ever given to another person should be given with a side salad and taken with a grain of salt. I feel that we are the ones who get to choose what decisions we make, and base them off of what others have said. So like I have told you, I aim to inspire others. But why? Because I am following my own path, this path of giving inspiration. I do not expect my advice to be used, but for it to be taken into consideration at least. If everything I said was ignored, I would silence myself forever, but that is irrelevant.

WRAP UP: INSPIRE YOURSELF

  1. I think the first paragraph could be adopted into the Oregon Trail game user manual.
