Grounded

I can feel like I’m going crazy when it seems everyone else is acting as if nothing’s happening, but I know where my priorities lie. I must stand firm and hold tight to what I find important and allow no one to tell me that it isn’t important. People can be neglectful of others because to be considerate would result in inconveniences for them.

If I stand firm despite those who tell me that what I find significant isn’t significant, then I might face backlash. On the other hand, if I give in to them and abandon my values, how would I feel about myself and my actions? I don’t think I’d feel very good about going along with the crowd for the sake of avoiding discomfort. I wouldn’t feel good about what amounts to abandoning someone just to avoid making others feel inconvenienced.
