Conflicted

I am often conflicted between two central ideas. I don't like to draw the line but there always seem to be one in my mind. It's like having two people inside you telling you two different and equal ideas. Sometimes I really desire to do what feels natural and what makes me happy. Other times I feel obligations to forces I can't really narrow down. It might sometimes be a parent, media, or our culture that tells us to consider the other. They tell us to consider what will bring "success". But what the hell is success? It's funny to me how we can disappoint people that we he had no choice in whether to live up to their standards or not.
