Something that really grinds my gears is when people try to talk you out of your life plans. Has anyone else experienced this? When you tell someone all the great things you want to do in your life, and then they just start trying to talk you out of it? It happens to me a lot.
I tell people all the time that I want to move to New York, and immediately, I get the most confused looks. People have said to me, "Well I hope you don't move there." It confuses me when people say things such as that. I'm the one moving there, why should it matter if no one else likes my ideas? It's my future and my plans and goals, so why does anyone else need an opinion on it?
I hate when people get judgmental about my plans for my life. I want to move to New York and work at a publishing company. I want to write books. So when I tell this to people, why do they look at me as if I have lobsters crawling out of my ears? I get it, everyone probably thinks that's boring. People think that New York is dangerous, dirty, and the last place on Earth they ever want to go. But why should that matter to me? It doesn't. But it doesn't mean that these comments don't affect me.
At the end of the day, I am going to do what I want. I have massive goals I want to reach, and I will do anything to achieve these goals. If that means moving to a new state and starting my life from scratch then so be it. This is MY life. These are MY dreams. I don't need anyone else's two cents on how they feel about my life.
If I didn't ask for your feedback, then don't dish it out.
