Stop Worrying About Being Embarassed And Just Live

Because living is the whole idea...

Stop Worrying About Being Embarassed And Just Live
cocoparisienne

I have to say that people who live their life regardless of what people think or say have the right idea.

It feels impossible and definitely has a "too good to be true" ring to it. Living life how you want without letting anyone else impact it. Seems simple enough right? Wrong.

There are a plethora of people in this world that alter their behavior because "someone might hear me or see me." Which is pretty much a fear-filled approach to life. Instead why not try to unashamedly live life as yourself? Was there an instance where wanted to sing, but couldn't find your voice because the popular people were too close? Have you ever wanted to be friends with someone who the rest of your friends hated with a burning passion, so you walked away? How did you feel after that?

Think about it. How often do you spend more time over analyzing a situation before acting upon it? How many times did you not talk to someone or ask them out because you did not want to show that you are in fact human? How often have you imitated life instead of just lived it? I am just as guilty of it. In fact, I'm probably one of the biggest offenders.

I have lost friends, in more ways than one. I am full of regret for things I didn't say. But those situations gave me the best gift, a reminder to live my life every day. Not necessarily to live a "big" life, but just to live it.

Live your life, because you never know what your last moment with someone will be. Make the move, steal the kiss (with consent people), walk in your graduation ceremony, book the trip of your lifetime. Just do it. Because there are so many people will never have that opportunity again.

Whatever the mountain is that you have been too frightened to climb, scale it. If you fall, then fall. But get up and try it again. If you can't do it for yourself, do it for the those who will never have the courage to try.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
