We can sometimes get lost and forget about what is important to us. A lot of people will
spend their whole lifetime looking for what they think is important and never find it. It is the
culture and society that we live in that makes us put a value on our importance. Many people
join social media network sites and seek acceptance of some kind and seek being important
to someone else. Maybe its loneliness or something other void that they are trying to fill, but
they are trying to fill it nonetheless.
Does it really matter who thinks we are important? Why should it? We all have family and
children and friends who obviously think we are important to a certain degree, but outside of
that, what does it really matter who thinks we are important or not? People will always want
to feel important because it gives them a self satisfaction or gratification that they think they
need to have. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
We must always remain true to ourselves. We can care about other people and think that
they are important to us, but the only true person that is important is ourselves. We have to
be important to ourselves in order for other people to see the same in us. Too many people
nowadays want the acceptance of others because they do not accept themselves as an
important part of the life they live.
We must never forget who we are, where we came from, and what is important to us first.
Once we have accepted that we mean something to ourselves, we can open the door to
others and then, and only then, seek their acceptance. Any of these concepts or thoughts, if
applicable to you, could be a jumping off point for your essay about life.
