{Your Own}


The thing about life is that we're going to have these feelings toward other people
That make us feel entitled to influence their life decisions.
The thing is we are all our own individuals,
We are all going to make our own decisions.
The sad thing is sometimes we get upset when people don't listen to us
But it is not up to us to decide their fate.
They may come to us for advice,
But don't expect them to live by your teachings.
Just know that you did a good thing by giving them good advice
Know that they are going to do what they feel is right for them because it is their life
So let them live it to the best of the ability that they know how.
Now, you continue to live your life to the best ability that you know how.
In order to get result in life, 
Worry about your own.
