How do we know if we are in control? that we're not just making the best of what comes at us, and that's it. Always trying to constantly pick between two options, like engineering or degree, Coke or Pepsi, Mc Donald's or Burger King. It's like choosing between Lays and Bingo. What difference does it make, even though both give us the same chips? It's all the part of the same blur, just out of the focus enough. It is the illusion of choice. It's either yes or a no, it always comes down to that. 

Half of us cannot even choose our own cable, shampoo or even the breakfast we eat or the water we drink. Even if we did would it matter? Our choices are prepaid for us, a long time ago. We are always advised or rather instructed to do things in a way or follow a procedure that someone followed to be successful. Like perusing engineering for a bright future. No parent will advise their child to be a guru but consults one to take their life's biggest decisions.

Every unconventional way of looking at or doing things is often unacceptable by the former successful people. They grew with their very own unconventional methods to be successful. What is success really mean in this society? great grades? A good package job? a happy relationship? we live in a warm messy circle of reality where we rely on each other's mistakes. We manipulate one another, use one another and even relate to one another.

Everyone wants to be noticed and the carving for attention messes up lives. The constant need for approval from others makes us feel better. Working hard for the things we love is slowly departing from our lives, we are doing things just for the sake of approval from the people around us. Everyone has their own personal maze which is they don't want to share with anyone. And the habits we develop just to impress others is just so sad. Everyone is special and are amazing in their own way, don't kill habits just because it has something to do with anyone.

All the things aside, we always have someone who is secretly admiring us for who we are and they support us, and we won't even notice them. Take time and appreciate the people who always support you. 

Life is a grand opportunity to be taken advantage of.
