The Crossroads Between Should and Must

In relation to the crossroads I see myself heading towards Must. I hardly ever do what I think people want me to do. I do my own thing all the time. Making myself happy is always numbe one.
People that care about what others think are small minded people, they are so worried with image they are not able to fully enjoy things that make them happy. 
Choosing must has been something I have personally done on a regular basis. I chose to become a marksmen, not one person told me I should. Although many people told me that girls can't shoot I ignored them all and proved them wrong by winning competitions (beating all the men). Choosing Must is who I am.
