How to live our lifes

There's something in this world that tells us how to be. It tells us how to act. How to react. It tells us what our lives should be like. From the time that we are able to understand the words that are told to us, we are told how life is supposed to be. We are told that we have to go to school. We have to have friends. We have to graduate high school. We have to meet a partner, preferably of the opposite sex. This someone we are supposed to fall headless in love with. Share our lives with, tell them our secrets and our dreams. We are supposed to become a union, one soul. And we are supposed to get jobs that leads to a career, and a home that leads to a family. This we are told as soon as we can take in the meaning of life.

But what if this doesn't happen? Is there something wrong with us? We are told how our lives are supposed to be so many times, for so long, that it becomes the truth. It becomes the only option. Therefore, when reality hits, and all those things that are supposed to come with it is lacking, we start to question. We start to wonder. Is this the true reality? Or is it only me? Is this the big lie in society? In the world. That everything we're told, everything we're taught, is not real. But then we look around, and realise that the world does look like we've been told. People live in pairs. People have their careers, and their families.

So I look around, and can't help but wonder. If that is how life is supposed to be, then what happened to me? Where did I get lost? In my searches for the answer, I think I've gotten lost. Running in circles, never knowing what to expect.

There is something in this world that tells us how to live. While sometimes it's good to ignore that voice and do your own thing, sometimes it's better to just shut up and follow the stream. It might just take you to your dream...
