What do you pride yourself in?
truly, what have you done in your life that you look back on with neither regret nor indifference?
now tell me: why are you proud of this? Do you actually find value in what you've done or do you merely take pride in it because others think it a worthy and mighty achievement? Did you carry out this action for your own satisfaction or for the praise you'd receive from others?
perhaps it is time to start doing things because we want to, not because we desire praise.
but what do I want? who do I want to be? I am a composite of all of my surroundings; I was molded from the thoughts and ideas of others.
How can I be myself when nothing I know is original, when nothing is me?
