Who you are

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
                   -Ralph Waldo Emerson-

It is foolish for me to record my thoughts but when they are so loud, so huge, so brilliantly coloured, I wonder how the world cant see them bursting out of my head.
Life is a series of choices, one twists into the next and the path shifts. It never really rides straight unless there are no joys, no sorrows. I will always prefer the road that wanders. I have made my choices, for better or worse, they were mine to make. I take full responsibility for the results of those choices.
We are part of a world that has yet to figure what is important; one that upholds lust over love, dominion over authority, friends over family; to base who you become and how you live your life on its standards is an injustice to yourself.
My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me. He let me know that no one should define you but yourself; not standards, norms or anything else deemed as an acceptable code by which we should live. In the end its not just the big and small events that make you who you are, it is how you react to them, thats where you have control over your life.
