live my life on my own terms, not trying to live up to the expectations of others

I am tired of living up to the standards of others. Just because I am not where everyone else is my age, why do I have to? What is this massive plan that everyone knows about but me? Obviously if I wanted that society standard of life I could have it but I find it utterly ridiculous. Fuck you society and bandwagon followers!

Most of my goals have a certain theme in mind. My main problem is that I am a push-over. I always spread myself too thin trying to make everyone else happy. Usually I am worried that people don’t like me or I will make them angry if I don’t do something for them. Over the years I am slowly getting better of dealing with people but it is no easy task for me. For some reason it is easier for me to go unhappy so that someone else can be. I know that sounds stupid and it is because that leads to people using me and not appreciating me. So I will keep my own standards and do what is right for me and do what makes me happy.

I want to stop living through and for other people and start living for me.
