Once again I find myself stuck between a rock and a hard place. Earlier this week I had to face some critical choices, some very upset people, and some very big lies. I chose to stand up for what was right and I figured out some very important things about myself and about the people around me:
1. I am tougher than I could have even imagined. I knew throughout the past 2 years that my skin has grown thicker and that I have become more confident in what I stand for, but I was really tested this week and I proved that I'm a force to be reckoned with.
2. This is nothing new, but once again I continued to get tricked and then shocked by people and their actions. More lies and more cover ups just different people.
I have finally realized that I truly don't care what people are going to say about me or what other people are going to do. If I can just do the right thing then the people who matter to me won't mind, and the people who mind don't matter to me. It's a beautiful thing to come across in your life and I hope everyone has that day where they can completely be free. I also found this week quite ironic because I'm learning about conformity in my social psychology class. This week was all about conformity and about how those people chose to conform to each other, and I'm very glad I came out of that my own person. Yes, everyone does conform in certain situations, but if everyone can be their own person in over half the situations they find themselves in throughout a day...we'd have a pretty amazing world to live in.
