Set your Goals. not the band.

Dear Self,
stop listening to others.
It is important for you to take the time and evaluate what YOU want in your life.
If it's different for what someone else wants for you. Fuck 'em. The goals you set for yourself are vital to who you are and who you become. If your goals change over time? Then so be it. However, goals are very individual. They reflect what you want to achieve for yourself and what you want to produce. What are you if not a productive human being? Is that not the purpose of life? to set a goal to achieve something and then reach that goal? Go to school. check. graduate. check. be a functioning member of society. check. you know? these things are important. But they are in direct relation to you. what you want to do. they have nothing to do with anyone else. and no one should have a say in what your goals are. they can say what they would LIKE to see you do. what they would LIKE to see you achieve. but in the end, only you have the power to control what things you actually bring to fruition. And sometimes, what is important to one person is very minimal in the eyes of someone else. And they shouldnt try to impose their life or their experiences on you. but that's a rant for a different time.
right now, focus. that means... don't let other people put into place a goal that you won't reach. because you don't have a desire or ambition, or any ability to do so.
think. then act. and dont let others skew you.

with love,
self.
