Perhaps.

As an individual, we are often taught to choose our own path, to choose our own destiny, that destiny is in fact in our hands. We're often taught that we should follow our instincts despite the advice given by others.

However, more often than not we'll probably choose the path that was decided by others. And why? It is not that we are indecisive, it is not that we are weak. But, I have found out that most often than not, it is just because we love that person too much. We accept the path that was chosen by them because we can't bear to disappoint them, because we want to see them smile. And even though we'll probably regret it, we somehow tricked ourselves that we are indeed doing the right thing.

But until when I wonder, do we let them decide what path should we journey upon?

Perhaps it's time that we stand on our feet, perhaps it's time we voice out, perhaps it's time to be brave and for once embrace what we want to do with our lives, perhaps it is time we step out of our comfort zone and for once do something that we truly want to do.
