thinking out loud

I apologize if I get confusing here, I've never been good at putting my thoughts down in words. I just write what comes to mind haha.

So, I'm always seeing these pins on pinterest and posts on facebook of quotes like "be a good person" "if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all."

It got me thinking, WHO CARES. Who cares if someone is being rude, who cares if someone is being mean, who cares if you don't like what that person is doing. In the end will it matter? Really, after it's all said and done, WILL IT MATTER? Life is so short. And in that time you have to do what you want to. Say what you want to say. If you want to be a bitch, then be a bitch, if you want to be quiet and reserved, then be it. People need to stop trying to change other people just because they're not "right" in their minds or judging other people by the way they act. Lately I've noticed how very often we all are judgmental of one another. Or how we are all in competition with someone. Ex-boyfriends, ex-friends, neighbors, people we don't even really know, or friends for that matter! Why?



As I get older I'm starting to see the world differently. I have really started to understand that saying "You only live once" or "Yolo" haha. But really, you do. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE. Do you really want to spend that life trying to make other people happy or not being who you really want to be? Do you really want to continue taking crap from that boss you hate? Or continue living with your boyfriend/girlfriend when you know you shouldn't be together? Do you really want to continue wishing you could 'get away' and go somewhere? It makes me so sad that I see people putting up with things that I know they don't want to. 
Yes I know, quitting a job is always easier said than done. Leaving someone is always easier said than done. Telling someone off is always easier said than done.

The question I keep trying to ask myself more and more is "Is it worth it?" and the answer is usually 'yes.'
