Today is one of those days that fact really hits me. I’ve been thinking about how frustrated I get when I feel like people don’t support or understand me, and I realize everyone feels that way too sometimes. I don’t understand why or how I can be so judgmental towards people when I know life is hard, and I have no idea what they’re going through, feeling, or dealing with. Or why I think everyone must follow some standard. If you want to get married at 18, okay. If you want to drop out of school and travel, okay. If you never want to leave home, okay. It is your life, it is not mine to decide what you do. And it’s hard to make decisions when you know people will look down, talk about, and mock them. I hope to be more supportive of people and focus less on what they do but more on how I can love them. And don’t get me wrong, loving someone can be guiding and correcting. But loving someone is not looking down on their decision just because it isn’t the same one you would make in your life. I hope to care and listen to others the way I wish I was cared for and listened to. And that maybe I’ll see the world become more loving and less judgmental.
