Dazzled by Books

I used to think that people cared what I had to say. I was young and naive and thought I mattered. Over the years, I learned that people to really care about what you have to say. They care more about the visual. You can be a rude person that hates everyone and people will love you because you always have the newest trend. These are the times that I find myself wondering why I try so hard.

Why do I try to be a good person and be nice to people? Why do I try to be a good friend? We already went through the post to talk about friendships, so that isn't why I am here today. Today I just want to talk about what drives us.

What makes you....well you?

Why do we put so much stock in what others think? I struggle everyday with my Instagram. I just wanted to make some friends on there that had similar hobbies that I did. Most days I just find it being really discouraging. Why? Because no matter how hard I try, I haven't made any friends. Then I start thinking why do I bother. No one cares.

Is this the mind set that I want to have? I find that I don't. I don't want to feel this way. When I try to get back into a positive part in my life, it seems like shortly after, I end up back in the same boat.

Those are my thoughts for the day.
