Life will go on without you

You’re dressing up to an occasion and you are planning on wearing a T-shirt that you haven’t worn before, you’re in a dilemma, you ask your friend “Is the T-shirt good?”

In one timeline he’s like “yeah, it’s a good fit!”

Another timeline he’s like “bruh, you’re going to be the joke of the night.”

You would say that a person with enough self confidence will do it either way, right?

I would say that everyone cares to a certain extent what the world says about them.

I mean you could see this and tell yourself that you never cared what anyone said and you were always your own person.

Social acceptance is part of human nature.

You cannot be completely numb to caring about opinions, but you could care less.

Someone asked me a question, what would you do if I died?

My reply?

I would mourn you for a year or two, be sad about it, cry, and do remembrance for you every year.

And every year that goes by the remembrance gets smaller and smaller until it’s just seeing the date you died and saying RIP.

Life will go on, I would get over it, live a happy life, make beautiful memories and die.

Same thing goes for me and same thing goes for everyone.

If people would forget you so easily, why do you care so much?

Do what you love, people are going to say things and that’s fine, care less.

I try to remind myself when I’m getting cold feet that nobody cares, if I embarrass myself or get rejected people would forget it in a month.

And truly, nobody cares what you do.

I tell myself nobody cares.

What would you tell yourself?

These are my thoughts, I hope they resonate with you.
