Being Independent

In order for a human to fully develop from a child to an accomplish adult that person will need to become independent.Independence cannot be reached right away and not everybody will become independent.A baby when he is young he needs his mother to feed him.As that baby gets older he learns to feed himself and no longer needs his mother to do that for him.When he becomes older he learns to do more and more on his own.Eventually that individual will a get job which show how responsible he is.In order to be independent he must also be responsible.

There are two parts to being independent.One is to be independent in your mind and the other is to be independent in a sense of supporting yourself without any help from anyone.How can a person truly be independent if that person does what the world thinks is right?The answer to that question is that no individual will be considered truly independent as long as that person follows everybody.Trying to independence could get a little controversial because everyone has their own speculations of that independence is.My opinion is that independence is the ability to do what you want even if it is not what society thinks is the right thing to do.To be fully independent is to be self-reliant onto ones self,trusting yourself and believing in yourself not being doubtful of your own thoughts and beliefs.The only true way to be independent is to make decisions based on you and not based on what society thinks.

In my life up until now I have experienced independence only up to an extent not to the fullest.I consider myself partially independent because I have a job,I drive a car, and I financially support most of my needs.It is very hard to reach the other side of independence which is to be your own person and not be influenced so easily by the world.
