expectations

I’m getting a bit fed up of people telling me how to live my life . . .

Day in day out I people tell me . . .

“you’re young, you should go out, get pissed and shag around”
I like drinking in moderation, when I say moderation, I mean I’ll get drunk a couple of times a month (if that), I’d hate to go out into town every weekend to convert my wages into piss. Plus the added bonus of a hangover the following day that will also ruin that day . . . not worth it. I do like a good drink when I’m surrounded by good friends or on an occasion where we’re celebrating something, a lot of people around me just seem to drink because it’s the thing that you’re supposed to do when the weekend arrives (British Culture) I don’t like or feel comfortable having sex with people who I don’t like or know . . . again, I feel that this does not make me “less of a man, a pussy or a girl.”

“you should try harder to make new friends”
I have met all the people in my life that matter, don’t get me wrong, I’ll be more than happy to meet cool new people and I’d love to make new friends (who wouldn’t)
But I feel comfortable with my friends, I love them more than words can express, I don’t need more friends, and I’m not going out of my way to try and make new friends. There is nothing worse than an attention starved ‘Try-hard’ and that’s a fact! I don’t want fair-weather friends that I only speak to on Fridays in clubs or only at shows, whatever, you get the point.

“you should go out more and enjoy yourself”
I do go out and enjoy myself, most nights of the week. I enjoy watching movies with friends, walking around the city with my friends, eating breakfast with my friends. I hate the fact the people call me “boring, negative, lame or old” just because I don’t consider self destruction fun, and I really don’t understand why this makes me an outcast.

“you should have a girlfriend”
I have been single for over 2years now and I’m fine. I do get lonely sometimes and crave attention from a female but hey, it’s not the end of the world. I’d rather wait for a girl who I like/love rather than just rush into something that I don’t want. People think I’m too picky, they might be right, but I know what I want and I don’t see anything wrong with waiting. I don't think that you can rely on one person to make you happy. Life goes on . . . .


I am comfortable with the way I live my life, I’m fed up of hearing the above comments. I’d rather live a life that I choose rather than fall in line and live a life that people expect me to live.

If you’re reading this and you empathise, then I love you.
Fuck your expectations
