To participate is something we have all been told to do since we were in kindergarten. Everything from painting a bunny, gluing macaroni to paper plates, and even duck duck goose. Now that we are older, we are taking part in what society has deemed necessary for success. In college you’re told to participate in electives you may not even care for, and are told this is how you get to where you want to be. College, then find a relationship, then marriage, kids, 50% will have a couple kids then be divorced, and then be trying to do that again, and then again not knowing statistically it just gets worse from the first time you tried it. So what does it really mean to “participate” in life when everything has been planned for you. You choose what you like to be apart of, then you go by their way of standards and means of completing a task. Participate is defined as: take part in an action or endeavor. Pretty simple to me, but what does it mean to not go by someone else’s design that has been laid out for you. To create your own step by step process. A road map completely your own, free from rules, or free from underlying pressures made for you to forget your dreams and what from a young age most people forget how to do, which is continue to see the world as where 90% of people are doing things according to plan, and only 10% do whatever the fuck they want to do. To participate in your own life is to take control of the actions that may not be the popular choice. Don’t think to yourself how, but what is it am I afraid of? School, work, kids. Problem is when people get to the kids’ part they no longer tend to do anything for themselves. You may be thinking this is all for the child, but then as the child becomes an adult, they are stuck in the same cycle and never end up doing something for themselves. Break cycles of inevitable disappointment. People have always believed, “life is too short.” Well not when you’re miserable. Time slows down, and suffering even for a day feels like an eternity. Try breaking away from someone else’s rules for a while. Participate in your own life for a day and learn how to want for yourself again. Don’t make any sacrifices for others and who knows. Maybe, just maybe you will make decisions tomorrow for your own life, and not just what someone told you to be. Bangov Actual, out.
