Cambridge Dictionary
What do we exactly mean when we say “live your life in your way”?
When we say “live your life in your way,” we are essentially encouraging individuals to be true to themselves, prioritize their own values, beliefs, and desires, and make choices that align with their authentic self. This phrase embodies the idea that each person is unique, with their own goals, preferences, and aspirations, and should not feel pressured to conform to societal norms or expectations that do not resonate with who they are.
Living life on your own terms involves making decisions based on your own convictions, following your passions, and pursuing your own definition of success and happiness. It’s about recognizing and honoring your individuality, listening to your inner voice, and taking ownership of your life choices.
Ultimately, living life in your way means embracing your autonomy, exercising self-awareness, and striving to create a life that is fulfilling and meaningful to you personally, rather than trying to meet the expectations or standards set by others.

This guy is an opportunist and has no problem leaving the other girls to get soaking wet in the rain. That is, until one sneaky girl runs up to take his umbrella back!
