In the end, it will always be up to us to make and take our own path. We eat, breathe, and live to open our eyes to another day full of twists and turns and unexpected surprises. It’s bat-shit crazy but hey, at least we can all agree on one thing: the world is, indeed, a slice of life.
Live through the day without giving a damn about what other people think. You are here in this world for yourself, for your loved ones, and for your life.
There will always be a solution and if there’s none, then go find a way until it’s okay.
Whatever he did that you might’ve done to make him be impressed, don’t do it again. Instead, do it for yourself. If he likes to read books, don’t get into reading just because he likes it. Read because it gave you something to do.
