people everywhere tell themselves and others they don't care what anyone else thinks about them. this is seldom true. i have said it many times but i know better than anyone that i lie. i think the concept is misunderstood, its not really about caring what other people think about u as it is about knowing what matters and what doesn't about these perceptions. being able to stay true to yourself regardless of every one pulling u in different directions, being able to respect people's opinions without letting them dilute yours. i can admit it would probably be soo much easier to let another's mind decide your life course and be nothing but a puppet on a string, the harder thing to do is to form your own opinions, dreams and ambitions, passions, walk your own road, one never walked before. its easy to get lost because there are no footsteps in the sand to follow, but the happiness, contentment and comfort on that journey can not be found elsewhere, not in following fads, not in being the daddy's little girl and letting him choose your life path, not in letting your lover control your life, and not in trying to be the next it girl after the last. i don't want to be anything or anyone other than me. i care what certain people that are important to me think but i will not let those opinions mold my life. only i have the power to do that.
