It's Too Short

Embrace your uniqueness.  Time is much too short to be living someone else's life. ~Kobi Yamada

They said you should have this career, they say you should be married by a certain age, they say you can't be happy unless, you should look like this and act like that.  Who are they?  Why are they the authority?  Why do we listen to them when we don't even know them?  In a modern society where we pride ourselves on independent thoughts and action, why do we conform when it comes to our basic identities?  You are unique, you are special.  Life is too short, go be you.
