The last blog entry I did was influenced by something I watched. Fiction influenced reality. Now I've been influenced be reality itself.

Love me for me
And not for someone I would never be
Cause what you get is what you see
And I can't be anymore than what I am

Have you ever been forced? Forced to do something you don't want to do? Forced to be someone you're not? Why must there be force? Persuasion and providing others with knowledge and guidance can be beneficial. However, to place a burden upon someone with their own aspiration and not your's?

It's no wonder so many people have conformed into lives they never wanted to live. This force may have been placed upon a person because it is thought that what will come will be best. Alternatively, the consequences are unknown. They are not layed out before our eyes. A path can be chosen, but what about the objective?

It's the journey, not the destination.

Isn't it up to us to decide who we are? It is our life to live, not someone else's. Guidance and advice is a virtue. It is an aid to a person's decision. That's enough. Directing and assisting one another is thoughtful. It is a hand into leading a person into choosing the steps they will take. Support is something to be treasured. But, to hold high demands and expectations...

Here I am
As perfect as I'm ever gonna be
You'll see

Why do people try to change others, often for the worse? Yes, change can be good. But, why pressure people to coincide with others? Let people be at their personal best, not yours.

Why can't they understand?
It's not all about succeeding
I follow their wishes
But I want to continue believing

I want to be who I want to be. I will strive for my own goal. I want to choose within my own time, at my own pace. But, the truth is..

I'm as perfect as I'm ever gonna be
Just love me for me
