Opinions

Meet my little friend Elpidia 🧚🏾‍♀️

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Media. Politicians. Celebrities. Friends and Family.

Throughout my short life I have been confronted with so many different people and all their different opinions.

I realised, that the people I looked up to the most, had and have the most influence on my own opinion and the way I think. The fact that I usually was and am younger than those people makes me think that whatever they said must be true (because they have more life experience). But people change and so do their opinions. This left me so confused.

What is wrong and what is right?

Also, as you grow and get older you start forming your own opinions on things.

The part I struggle with the most, is whenever the influential people in my life don’t share the same opinions and thoughts as me... and it leaves me so confused!

Can’t my thoughts be right too? Or is it all wrong?

But at the end of the day we are all just humans and humans are so very different (as we already know). So it’s ok to have different opinions. It’s ok to disagree. As long as you stay civil, respectful and agree to disagree.

It’s also ok not to know what to think.

I’m young and honestly... sometimes I don’t want to makeup my mind (and other times it’s just to difficult). It is my right to have MY opinion (even if it is to have none). I just want to stay true to myself and not let my self be COMPLETELY influenced by others.
