ETHICS
The primary question of Ethics: How shall I live?

Life is a series of moments as well as a series of memories, achievements,

occurrences, happenings, and accomplishments. We must frequently live in the moment in
order to survive.
As I continue on my path, there are things that help me to be motivated in choosing
the best path that life has to offer. When I decided it was time to make a change, there were
some practical lessons that helped me stay on track. I prefer to see the lighter side of
myself, but I must confess that I spent a considerable portion of my life subconsciously
shaming myself for my insecurities. I know I am not good at all, and I want to be someone
who fits in well. Someone who isn't as responsive as those sle gets irritated, is less reliant,
and is less likely to make mistakes. So, for the longest time, I have unwittingly compromised
myself in order to please others, hiding behind a false facade of fake smiles. The pain is no
longer worth it, and I've learned that certain people will never be happy no matter what you
do or how you adjust. Not because you think someone else wants it, but because you've
actually realized you're deserving of your own love and care. I am indeed worthy, my
thoughts are worthy, my emotions and desires are worthy, and you must be who you are
and leave your value and truth without the relentless approval of others.
This optimistic perspective on facing and living reality motivates me to improve and
reflect on my life and goals every day, and I don't care about other people's opinions of me
because I know that among all of them, I am the one who knows the most about myself.
