Up to You

Your past never has to define you. Yesterday's gone, today's almost over. So who do you want you to be tomorrow? That my friend is totally up to you.

Jane Marsh from The Middle "The Guidance Counselor"

 

As we grow up and grow old we often have many labels attached to us throughout our lifetime. Sometimes we encourage these labels, other times, we shed those personas. I think it is a shame when we help those who judge us. We need to make the person we are tomorrow be the person we want to be, not who others want us to be. Jane Marsh, and Sue Heck, are definitely characters who felt the pains of trying to be someone other than who they wanted to be.
