No Matter What You Do, They Will Judge

These days I've seen on social media posting about people comparing the first child of our current president and the children of our ex presidents. I don't want to talk about politic. I just want to outline how people will always find what's wrong from you. That's overwhelming, I have to say. But that's also a relief. Doesn't it mean that we can do whatever we want, because whatever we do, some people will support and some people will still judge?

I think it's pretty clear that we all have different priorities in life. We pursue different things. Some people want to study and get degree as much as they can. Some people want to build businesses. Some people work for money. Some people work for love. Whatever.

But I think it's hard for people to fully accept it. If my friend wants to study until he/she can get doctoral degree, some people will still think that all he/she can do is just studying. He/she is unable to work, nor to build a family. On the other side, if he/she doesn't want to go to university, some people will think that he/she is less educated. Regardless how much he/she have actually achieved.  

Woah.

Here, I post my story about I want to move to another university as I've failed. If you don't read it from the beginning, you will assume that I'm that weak. Or maybe you won't think anything, because this is pretty normal, because I can do whatever I want and nobody actually cares. I don't know. 

All I know, these days I'm being so hard to myself. I always think about the 'what ifs'. Maybe because I'm also aware that people will likely to point out the mistakes that I've done. Maybe because that's our nature, never feel satisfied and end up beating ourselves up. 

If only saying 'whatever' to it was that easy. If only I could always remember 'the key to failure is trying to please everybody'. Maybe there wouldn't be any anxiety attack in 2 a.m -- the time when your brain could only be your biggest enemy. 

Maybe we're all always doing okay.
