We try our hardest to impress people that we barricade our own needs and values, forgetting that it is our own lives that we are living and when things take turn we are left alone to pity and shame ourselves when the people we were trying to impress are no where to be found. Don't get sucked into the never ending loop of impressing others that you ignore your own values, there is no success in doing what others want of you, to seek validity from others. The sooner you learn that there is no one as important as yourself the sooner you learn to live your own life for YOU.
