just stop trying
Mood:  smelly
there's always that one person in life that you try so hard to please, but never feel satisfied. you're just never smart enough, nice enough, whatever enough..actually just never like them enough. then there's that day you realize that trying to please someone who's not pleased with who you truly are just isn't worth it. you realize that you will NEVER be good enough for them and trying is just a huge waste of your time. then you decide you don't care anymore, which is a pretty good feeling. it's like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. it's relieving. you tell yourself that you're better than them and there's no reason to live up to their impractical expectations. it's a good feeling..untilllllllllllll your parents,for example, bitch at you about how you're grades aren't good enough and THEN you see that there will always be someone's expectations you must TRY to live up to. always. if there wasn't, then no one would do anything. we'd just be a world of couch potatoes. good thing people have ridiculous expectations for others. and also, good thing we care so much about what others think. it's really a noble thing to do for someone you "care" about. give them impossible standards to live up to and they will spend their whole life working hard to achieve this. now, of course, they will never be good enough for you, but they'll turn out pretty successful. it's like when they say "shoot for the moon and you'll land among the stars." good advice. except it DOES suck when you don't make it. oh well, you'll probably have a nice house or a loyal dog or something.
