Freaking Standards!

Once at a time of your life, there is this moment when you realize that you’ve been tied so tight you can’t even breath. Tied that you realize have existed even since you haven’t been born. A tied called social and cultural standard of life, made by people around you!

I reckon this quite silly actually, I live my life my own way and it’s just people, society expect me to be whatever they want me to be, while I want to be other. I sit here at this very spot, living my own life, but everyone else bother me to reach whatever standard they want me to become, just because they believe that these standards are what it takes to make a life. No it isn’t. There so many things so many aspects of the life, so many room for greatness even when you cross those standards.

Enough to tell you how sick I am of standards. That’s what people make, that’s what they want me to be. But what’s wrong of not being like that!

One has to finish study, one to has a good job, make a living, make even more money and so on. It’s like there are nothing else in this live but those. We have wide open gateway to do many other more colorful and amazing things and even job to do. I do realize I have to make living, but it’s not gonna be worth it if I don’t enjoy and I don’t think that’s my determination. I wanna live somewhere, with a job, with activities I dream myself would do it for a long time. Even I don’t wanna stay in a single place, I wanna travel, I wanna go round the world, no stopping.

But suddenly when you realize that you’re family, you’re friends, the society you live in, they set standards for people. What’s that for? To let people be happier? Is it happy if you tied by standards you don’t even know and you don’t even have the chance to put your aspiration to set that standards? And why would it has to be standards? Why would it has to be the same threshold?

Everybody’s unique, everybody’s different. They have their own value that they respect as much as they respect themselves. Standards supposed to be made by a person himself, set it to himself.

                Then another ridiculous thing is that when one doesn’t reach those standards, people would see that person as low self esteem, unqualified, and not worth-ed kinda person. What’s wrong with not reaching standards?

I say, people, don’t get caught up with what society expect of you. Live with your own standards.
