Self-Validation!!!

Finally welcome readers to the first post of "I'm Just Saying..." The mission goal of the blog is to basically spread the opinions and experiences from the point of view myself while still taking in the opinions and experiences of others. Post that are posted on this blog will focus on topics such as love, sex, real life experiences, education, values, morals, politics and other opinionated topics. You too my readers can become involved and also post your own comments about what you think of the posted topic. Okay lets get into the first topic which goes into Self Validation.

It's always important to know who you are and where you stand within yourself. Going through life who doesn't face some kind of ridicule against them. Whether you are called a name, teased, or bullied by someone. The point is that this has happened to everyone at some point in their life. Our job as people however is to not let these discrepancies validate who we are and the things that we do in our lives. I quote this saying from my own experiences that I have faced earlier on in my life particularly throughout middle school and high school. It's easy to point out these types of problems around the ages of 12-17 as one can expect to receive this type of ridicule from our peers. However we tend to not find the solution to these problem around those ages as we are not mature enough yet to figure out a solution and apply it to a grown up situation.

For me it wasn't until my second year of college that I found out that I had to stop worrying about what others thought of me and the decisions that I choose to make. I was wrapped up in the idea that I had to make decisions and act a certain way in order to please those around me. I later learned that this was not the way to make myself happy. We as people forget that we must do what is right for us and not worry about how others perceive us. Putting our "well being" in the forefront does not make us conceited, it lets us know that we care about ourselves and that is the most important thing. Letting others place labels on our persona's only places unnecessary stress in our lives. Only we can place a validation on ourselves about the choices we make and the things that we do.

No one can teach us how to be our own person but ourselves. It it up to us to be content with who we are and throw away the worries of what we think people want us to be. Follow your own ideas and only then you can prosper. I will be the first to say this is only my opinion and "I'm Just Saying...."
