Posted by Anonymous on 2014/05/13 under Uncategorized I have been traveling down a very lonely road; on social media sites such as Facebook I have over a 1000 friends, on Twitter over 600 followers. On Instagram over 2000 people follow me. To be quiet frank I could care less about those numbers. The real question is, do any of these people really know me? I was the popular kid in high school everyone wanted to be and get approval from, I played all the sports, I was in all the activities, I have extremely good social skills, the “looks” a girl wants, and a loving personality. Sure I have a nice car and house but my parents started with absolutely nothing. I didn’t always have nice things but the people that I called “friends” told me after I graduated that all just liked me because of the things I had and not for whom I was. I realized when it came down too it. I had no friends. I graduated went to college thinking I can do this; ill met some people that will actually like me for who I am. Take a guess at what happened. I stayed a nobody. I tried the party scene, you know, lets get drunk and yell America. Well It didn’t work. Sure I met people but I never really developed a friendship with anyone. Now that I have went through my first year of college, I kept asking myself, why am I even on this earth? It was only when my roommate moved out at the beginning of second semester did I find myself in a dorm room by myself. I then realized what life is truly about. When someone says money cant buy happiness, you should believe that statement. Life isn’t about how many friends you can surround yourself with or what material items you can buy. Life is about experiencing the world and seeing things and doing things that make you happy. Not only must you accomplish those things, you must always have that goal at the end of the day you are striving for. That goal is your dream. Put aside the things you don’t need, and take a deep breath and ask yourself. Is this how I want my life? Sure id love to have people that I could share memories with but at the end of the day. There’s only one person that you can count on and that’s yourself. So my message to you is, Life is what you make it, and that decision is left to you.
