In this generation I have been told that I am too serious by a lot of people. Whether that means that I am too serious with the way I think about things or I process my thoughts I'm not quite sure. I think people just throw that word around because they are too afraid to commit.
I'm the type of person that knows exactly what I want and I don't like wasting my time. I understand when people say I can't take a joke that I am too serious, obviously if your joke isn't funny I don't plan on laughing. But I don't think there is remotely anything wrong with knowing what I want and where I want to go in my life. Being serious means that you aren't trying to deceive people and you are going about your business efficiently. You don't have time for games and you are just focusing on the things you should be focusing on. Being serious means that you actually want to be genuine with people. Being serious is great and I don't understand why people even have the audacity to tell another person they are too serious. Too serious because you go about your life revealing your true self to others?
Too serious because you feel the need to show your actual self all the time? It makes no sense why people in our generations feel the need to tell people they're too serious because they are actually going about their lives the way they should be. I'm too serious apparently because when I tell people I like them I actually mean it. You're too serious if you want to be with someone that doesn't want to be with you. No, that person lied to you and is now saying you are too serious because they don't want to own up to their actions. Not sure what happened in our generation but that is absolutely insane to think about.
People make excuses and then throw their excuses as insults to others. Being serious is a great thing and I can't stress that enough. People will try to bring you down for knowing what you want but you can't let them. Knowing exactly where you want to go with a person or even where to go with your goals is so important and in no way is that a bad thing. Take your life seriously as you should, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
