THE CROSSROAD BETWEEN SHOULD AND MUST

Relating to Crossroads, I find myself heading more towards must. I hardly ever do what others want to do when it comes to myself. I do what makes me happy, not what pleases others.I tend to not pay much attention to what others think of me. I see it as you either accept me as i am or we have no reason to be so close. Although that doesnt mean i just give those who look down on my for whatever reason, the cold shoulder. I choose where i end up. I have the authority to let others influence me. Better yet, i have the power to choose who i let influence me.
