Live for YOU!

As young adults and people in general, of all ages, races, and genders, we are all on a journey through life. Why waste your life worrying about others? Do not get me wrong I'm not saying go around flipping people off and to not care about others' feelings. I'm saying it is okay to put YOU first. It is alright to remove yourself from situations to better yourself and to pursue true happiness. It is one thing to value someones opinion or perspective but to allow people to live through you is not okay. At the end of the day you were created for a purpose. If you go around not completely happy or settling to spare other people's feelings you are setting yourself up for failure. You will end up 50 and saying to yourself "Well damn what have I accomplished??" (Hopefully this will be not the case) I know a lot of people who say "I'm only doing this for my parents" or "I'm only with him or her because I don't want to hurt their feelings" or "I want to pursue this because someone I really loved couldn't do it" My thing is, if you use your time trying to fulfill someone elses dream or destiny what about your dreams and your destiny? I look at life like its MINE nobody can do things like ASHLEY can. Nobody can dream and succeed like I can nobody can do what I do or be me. The same applies to all of you! Nobody can do what you are destined to do but YOU! You have to get up and make things happen for yourself not for mom or dad or grandma but for YOU! Your time has an expiration date and does not come with a return receipt. This is it! LIVE for today and  make tomorrow better. Dream, Believe, and Achieve!! There will always be someone doubting you but as long as you look past them and do not dwell on their negativity you will be fine. We all know life has its up and downs and that's to prepare you to be the best you possible! People in today's world want things to be sunshine and rainbows 24/7 that's not life! You go through difficulties so you appreciate the awesome things even more. You have trials and test to prove to yourself you can make it through anything. No more wasting time. Think it, feel it, and believe it! BELIEVE IN YOU! =)
