Everybody is in your ears telling you about your life. How things are, what you should do, what you shouldn't do, and where you are going in life. This should not happen, you are independent, you are your own person. This is to the people who tell you all about your own life. You are you.

Thank you for letting me know how my major is to broad, how it is not as valuable as a degree in a specific field. Thank you for letting me know that I should have reconsidered my choices on what I want to do, asking me if I know anything about the real world and the job market. Tell me more about my choice of major.

Thank you for telling me what I want out of a team. Telling myself as well as others that I am only looking for "drinking buddies" and that I am not there to compete. That I am not making an effort to improve, that although I am in pain from an injury and trying to work through it that I am not good enough. Tell me more about my reasons for being on this team.

Thank you for telling me what I should be doing with my relationships. That I should have someone I am looking for. That I should have a type of girl I want to be with. Thank you for telling me I need to be with someone now and that the way I handle it is not natural. Tell me more about my love life.

Thank you for letting me know my grades aren't good enough for anything, that I'm not trying. That I am not up to par with you. That my internships won't help me anywhere. That whatever I do I won't be as great as what you do. Tell me more about my career goals.

Tell me more about me; bring me down the rabbit hole more. Let me realize that I am me and that I don't need to listen and that I am my own person. So please Tel me more.
