Necessary Instant Remedy

There are times in life when one is faced with a plethora of decisions. While it is customary for one to make it through school, get an education, settle down in a good job, get married and all that jazz; is it necessarily the route that everyone is destined to take? Maybe its just me, but I find that apart of growing up is being allowed to make decisions that benefit you. What if what's customary, doesn't work for you? It may not necessarily be the best decision in someone else's eyes but it works for you.

I'm a huge fan of travel and new cultures and I feel I'm at the point in my life where I need a change of environment. Sometimes that is all one needs in order to grow and shape themselves. I hate being stuck at one point for too long. It makes me severely uncomfortable. Not just physically but mentally and emotionally as well. My thirst for knowledge and my love of art and fashion are some things that help me to cope nowadays.

Contrary to popular belief, I've been unhappy for a very long time. It has nothing to do with one specific person or one specific situation, but has to do with years of experience. Yes, I agree that I am indeed young but there are copious amounts of experiences that I would trade for something else. Then again, these same experiences are what made me who I am, nuh true? And you have to endure the storm before you can have the sunshine. (Terribly cliche', I know. LOL)

I'm a firm believer of the fact that true happiness lies within. I have turned to many things to make me happy but after a while these things lose the ability to lift my spirits. What I'm about to do now is focus on ME. I've been trying to do that for quite some time now but someone or something always gets in the way. I tend to put other people's happiness over my own but what has that done for me? Where have I been left? Right here. At the same spot.

While I'm still unhappy and I can't necessarily put my finger on what's bothering me, I'm fully 100% comfortable with myself and being in my own skin. I have met great people that have brought out the best and I've met shitty people who have brought out the worst in me, but at the end of the day I'm still me. Who are you?
