I always like to think when you look into someone’s life that person is always trying to show the “best parts” for the world to see if they can help it.

Far too many say “I want to be like that person.” They forget all the hardship that it took to lead up to that person being who they are at that moment and all the stuff that could happen later in life.

Often times people always end up on these pedestals they never ask to be on. Any time one of those people fall short of the mark others are trying to hold to that person because they want to be just like them it’s like “how could they.” I think it’s great to take inspiration from something someone has done or achieved. However, you need to make it your own.

Otherwise, you are just chasing a shadow and when you get to meet the real thing casting that shadow you more than likely won’t be happy. As it’s not possible to live up to that thing so many imagen people’s lives to be like.

So many want to be rich or this or that. People forget all the sacrifices and time It took for someone to get there. All those sleepless nights of thinking tomorrow could be the day I finally give up and have to accept failure. So many are riding that edge of failure and successes it could tip anyway. People tend to only notice when someone has that success and that scale pointed that way.

I would much rather be my own person. I don’t ask for much out of this life. Just a chance to make my own opportunities in it. Try to be a somewhat decent person when I can be.
