Is It Really Ok?

Is it really ok to change yourself for others? To meet their expectations regardless of who you are.

Some of us would define it as good growth and nice change by saying that it is important to enhance ourselves in order to live a better life.

But what if you’re not comfortable with your growth. Do you think it's okay to lose yourself for your loved ones? I suppose it is difficult to define right and wrong when one is in a debate with their loved ones.

It’s hard to express yourself when you know you can lose them if you try.  It’s hard to explain your desires when the other person you love doesn’t want you to do that. And in all of this, it's okay to drown and be the way they want you to be.

Abandon your own beliefs and begin to listen to them. To start living your life according to their wishes. Learn their do's and don'ts. To start learning their teachings.

Speaking up is misbehaving though being silenced and letting them say whatever they want to is good manners. This is what we've taught all our life.  But is that correct? Is it not acceptable to speak about it instead of stifling yourself from the inside?

To repel the charge and tell them what you want your life to be. I think it’s something we all can’t do when in front of you someone you love is standing, someone who says they want good for you, someone who cares for you and you do the same.

However, the difference occurs when your and their take on life doesn’t match and you have to convince yourself hard enough to understand them and their take on life and start following their guide. Even if you have different exposures and plan for yourself.
