Guilt Trip

                             

When does the guilt trip end? When does trying to live your life, and truly find who you are as an individual stop being such an end of the world? It is almost like a bipolar-ism that has become the norm. You're bantered about being independent and making adult decisions, but when it truly comes time for that it is as if you're guilt tripped into thinking it is selfish or the wrong move. In your early twenties it is very much so okay to be selfish, to be all about your happiness, and about achieving the life you want for yourself. Not the life grandma wants for you, not the life your uncle wants, not even the life your mom wants for you no matter how good her intentions may be. When it all comes down to it, there will be a day when you want your own things, own space, and own mind. You do not have to wait to achieve that. Be firm in your decision making. Take it from me, someone who flip flopped all the time with decisions due to me getting insight form everyone else about what they wanted for me. Learn from my mistake and do not do that. You only get one life, and you must live it for yourself; more importantly for God, and be unapologetic about it.
