Perchance to be

Dear self, it is quite alright to be you. 
The world is not concerned about your role during your lifetime. In the point of view of the universe you are but a speck of dust that will have little to none relevance in the cosmic scheme of things. That being said you have your own human experience to consider. This time here and now are meant for you to play out an array of situations, explore your feelings and reason into existence whatever might be the purpose of yourself. Perhaps like the fisherman story, your purpose is just to spend your time fishing and enjoying the catch of the day with friends and family while the sunset carries the sun out of sight. 
To be the good guy or the bad one it really doesn't matter. I mean for you it is the most important thing. But that only applies in very relative terms.  You can keep on thinking what is expected of you, how important are you, what rules should you follow? 
But face the facts in absolute terms, two hundred years from now nobody will have any idea of who you were and what was your role for the first half of the twenty-first century, granted that you will get there.
So, I not do yourself a favor, and just be, who you feel like being. A movie director, an editor, a lover, a dreamer, a listener, a street wanderer, a star gazer, a cheap cook, it doesn't matter. Just take time to be, experience, enjoy, savor the bag of emotions that were designed for you. Define a purpose that makes sense to you. Do not expect for the cheers of others, they will not come. You came alone into the world, and in time you will cease this experience and be alone - in the new role the universe might cast you.
