It bothers me when people say to do stuff for yourself. Like yes, when you do stuff, you shouldn't do it with the sole intent of seeking approval, attention etc. from others. You should first and foremost do whatever it is because you truly love it and want it.
At the same time doing something strictly for yourself is fucking lame(to an extent). In fact, if you really, really are passionate about something you should want to share that with other people...no? What is something worth if you can't share it with others? I mean really think about it. I personally can't think of one thing that I have ever truly cared about that I don't want others to be a part of.
Think about the sickest day of skiing you've ever had(only using skiing as an example because this is NS). Think about how hyped you were, how you felt about it during and after, what it left you with, etc. Isn't that all stuff you want to share with someone? Isn't it fair to say that anyone could benefit from that same experience, whether its in skiing or any other activity/aspect of life?
It's a really awesome feeling to introduce someone to similar experiences in my opinion. And while making other people happy should never be a motive in doing something, if you have the ability to share such an awesome passion/experience with others... why wouldn't you do it?
I feel like there's a fucking trend(?) in society with people my age who are like "fuck everyone, I'm doing what I want" or everyone is like "only do things for yourself" and other cliche BS I see constantly on social media. And a lot of people who have came in/out of my life take that to heart and block out a lot of potential relationships/experiences.
I don't even know what my point is here. Maybe I'm just butthurt. Who knows.
