We seldom realise, for example, that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society. 

So when you're out there following this dream that society has shown and idealised to you such as money, cars, fame, sex, alcohol etc, don't forget what your soul is crying out for. Your inner self, soul or whatever you want to call it has cravings too and those have nothing at all to do with man-made hedonistic lifestyles. The things that will calm your soul, make you feel happy, content and at peace deep within can't ever be purchased. 

So focus on the things that make you grow and happy as a person instead of as a kind of character. It's always something that has perplexed me as I have written before ... I seriously don't get people not being themselves- or as true to themselves as possible, and people wearing masks because it's just so exhausting trying to be something you're not. You could just be you, and guess what? If there's things you don't like about yourself, you can change them to make yourself a better person instead of swapping masks. You shouldn't be a coward! You can take all the positive traits you want to be and make it part of your character instead of just beginning a completely different act and killing your true self off in the process. I see some people act so differently sometimes and it's like what are you doing? What's wrong with being you, it's awesome. It's beautiful. We want sincerity, the only part of one's character worth exploring is their true self. 

Don't lose sight of what's important and I don't care what anyone tells me, in no way, shape or form are the important things in life that which you can buy or receive with money. I know right at this very second, I would give all the money I had to buy something as simple as happiness but I can never, I have to try and find it by myself. And before you ask, I can't not buy happiness because I'm not rich enough lol, it just can't be bought... you see it from the life of people who have so much money, fame, fortune but don't have the magic 'h' word... Amy Winehouse, Robin Williams, River Phoenix, Whitney &'Bobbi Huston... I could go on. Some had people around them they thought were close friends but usually when one is just looking to follow a hedonistic lifestyle, your inner circle will never be people that care about you more than they care about money. 

You can even use your logic to know you can't buy joy. Have you noticed, whenever you get something you really wanted you get bored or and used to it after some time. It becomes way less special  because you're over the initial excitement, but loved ones like friends or maybe family if you have a good relationship with them will always make you smile in different ways and give you different types of happiness so you will never be sad, bored or lonely. And most importantly, if you are, you won't have to do it alone in private. There's nothing worse than having to try and fight your corner, and being the only one there that's fighting for you and picking yourself up. 

So just take care  and don't forget yourself. Be the best version of you, it's never too late... People learn and grow every day! :-)

Love,
