A cut out life

I don't know about you guys but sometimes I feel like I have a cut out life.

I think people , at least I have, a cut out, an ideal of how oneshould be and how one's life should be. I should dress like that, I should talk like this, I should be friends with these, I should do this and that. Think after, and be frank don't you have certain personal regulations or ideals you keep trying to fulfill.
I think you do.

I like to think of myself as an independent person who never follows the crowd. And maybe most of you who knows me agrees with that. But recently I've found myself always trying and wishing I could dress like that or being as funny or having stories to tell or just looking like like that. I've realized I've put so much pressure on myself by thinking like this, that besides all the things that pressures me like school and grades I have these silly "ideals" to fulfill. Why do I, we, have these unecessary pressure on ourself, why? Why isn't being yourself enough?

I've finally started to be content with my life as it is and appreciate the little things that makes me happy. And that should be enough! Why do people dream to be someone else, dream to besomewhere else and not appreciate what they have and what they are? How much happier will you be if you had those clothes or if you go to New York? That's not for good. You are this person for good, no matter what you do no matter what you yearn for. Learn to be happy with yourself and appreciate the things you do have and the people who do love you.

It'd be healthier for everyone if they could be themselves once in a while
