Because this is me.

Why do we care how everyone else lives their lives?
Have you ever thought about just how much emphasis we put on this on a daily basis?
We constantly care or judge what everyone is doing.
But why?

We make excuses to other people for the decisions we make.
We apologize out of embarrassment for doing things we actually like to do.
We have explanations in our head to recite when someone asks about why we chose that tattoo, that religion, that political stance, that car, that brand of dog food...

But really, Why do you care how I live my life if I'm not negatively affecting yours?

This is something I spend a lot of time thinking about.
Every once in awhile you meet people that honestly do not care about standards
& they so genuinely live without making excuses for their lives.
Those people. Those beautiful, power, take your breath away people.
We should ALL be those people.

Not everything has an explanation.
I love those tattoos simply because I do.
I stay up late simply because I do.
I fed my dogs shit dog food for 5 years simply because I did.
I don't care about being environmentally friendly, vegan or gluten-free simply because I don't.

Well here is my answer:

"Because this is me."

If that answer doesn't suit you, then maybe you should look into yourself & ask why.
