View of Self

I talk a lot in Pingüi's Caja about this idea that the you should be the main point in your life.  I say that no one can live your life but you.  So now I'm curious.  I know what I live MY life for; what do you live for?

    Do statements like "You're the only person who can be you." and "..no one can live your life but you." provide any real insight into the nature of life, as opposed to some trivial insight as to the possessive second person pronoun 'your' works? Or is it people talking without giving a moments thought to what they meant when they say it?

    I thought through every word I typed, as I always do. To me, "living your life" is about being yourself and not caving to peer influences. It's all about being who you truly want to be, who you truly are and not who society wants you to be. You can consider yourself "English-speaking and lower-middle class" or you can think of yourself as "just you." What I mean when I write about that is to define yourself based on your own terms and not based on society's terms.
