Judgemental People

I often wonder how and why people are so judgemental?  I know we all have our ideals of what we think is right and wrong but honestly who is to say what is right for someone.  I think unless you are hurting someone then you should stay out of it.  I think when I was younger I was more rigid, thinking that it had to be one way, or no way.  Now, I think wow.. what was I thinking, who do I think I was to say what someone else should be doing in their lives.

I have so many people that say to me, how could I do this or that or live in ways they think are odd.  Odd?  what does that mean, I am not main stream, is there anything wrong with being an individual?  I don't like being like everyone else, I want to make my own choices and not be judged by people because of it.

All I want to be in happy and I am right now.  I can honestly say I haven't been this happy for a very long time.  Do I think it can be lasting?  It can't be worse than not being with who I care about for whatever time I can. I spent years alone, years doing what other people wanted me to do, expected me to do.  Not any longer, never again.  I will do and say what I want as long as I don't hurt anyone, then who should care.

Life is short and I plan to enjoy each day, I no longer care what people say to me or think about me and my choices in life. I am happy with them, they have brought joy, real joy that makes me smile so much my cheeks hurt. What can be wrong with that?  Nothing~!~
