These past few
weeks I have been hanging out with a good friend of mine, Jessica. I was
thinking about what my blog this week should be about. I was honestly thinking
that it should be about not caring what other people think about me, and just yesterday
Jessica was telling me how I have changed. I told her “oh, well is it good or
bad?” she tells me “I like it” a few minutes later while I started writing my
comments she told me “your blog should be about not caring what other people
think” So my life lesson I have learned is not caring what people
think about me. This has become a huge life lesson for me and maybe I can
inspire you to live by this lesson.
Over the past few
years I have always cared about what people thought about me. I would always
sit in my room just thinking about what people think of me. Every time someone
came up to me and would say “I know this and this about you” and even though
they were wrong and knew nothing about me I still sat thinking oh my gosh, what if people think it’s true
and think of me different? I could
never get over the fact that I knew it wasn't true. I would go complaining to
my best friend that so and so said this about me and how it wasn't true but
other people would think it was true. He would tell me how they were stupid and
how I should just not care. Well, I now don’t care what you think, or what they
think or what you think. I don’t care.
Recently, I have
started becoming who I really am, and a few of you have come to realize this
about me. I am not saying that the nice Corazon is not nice anymore; I am
saying my personality now is who I am. I have realized that in a few short
weeks I will be gone, I most likely will not see any of you ever again. Why do I
care what you think? Why do I worry what rumors will make people think? Those are
the questions I now ask myself to help me live by this life lesson every day. If
someone tells me something they think about me I laugh and say “oh, its funny
how you know things about me that I never knew” and walk away. I believe that many of you have found this in
yourself a long time ago or maybe even just recently but if you have not. Just think
about it, you will never see anyone again, you don’t live to please everyone. Be
you, be who you truly are, stopping caring what people think, live to make
yourself happy, please yourself not anyone else. This life lesson has made me
change so much but in such a great way. I hope that maybe you can live by this
lesson yourself. Remember; don’t care what others think about you!
