Who do you live for?

Who do you live for?
We flaunt our lives. Every day anew, we show where we are, what we have, what we can and who we are. But do we show the world who we really are or do we just pretend to be a person who we really are not? Do we do this for self-protection? For the struggle for recognition? Or even to feel better about ourselves, in which we ultimately believe our lies and start to live them?
 
Who do you live for?
You decide every day anew and you can give every single day of your life the chance to become the best in your life. But that doesn't work in a world where you just pretend to be and don´t be at all.
 
Who do you live for?
Who do you keep updated with long messages about the new life you have chosen to live? You report about your life and entertain people with whom you may not even be really in contact any longer. You let your past participate in something that overall isn´t longer part of your present and you don´t know whether it will be still a part of your future.
 
Who do you live for?
Are you building up a life for yourself or for the others?
Do you find friends and family for yourself or the others?
Do you meet a new love for yourself or the others?
Can you really settle in your life and start to build up something if you live it permanently for the others and not for yourself?
You are the only person you should live your life for, because it is your life, it is not the one of others.
Only you decide what´s next, because it is your future and not the future of the others.
You are only who you are because of your past and you aren´t who you are because of the past of the others.
Only you alone can extricate yourself from all this and live your life according to your ideas, because it´s your life and you live it only for yourself.
