How To Be Like Somebody: Don't

Everywhere I go, I can hear about people being insecure and don't love themselves enough...

"I'm not skinny enough."
"I wish I have a body like hers."
"I'm too fat."
"I'm so ugly."
"Being ugly must be my talent."

Those are just some common lines that are being said by most people. Reason? People are too judgmental.

"Ugh. Look at her. Does she even belong here?"
"Ew. What are you wearing?"
"HAHAHA! You're so fat!"

I recall waiting for my food in the mall then this group of girls were standing behind me then I heard one of them say "Let's go judge people" and you know what, they are really really really lucky that there are a lot of people in the mall or else I would have given them a lecture. I can never forget that moment because the feeling I had that time was unexplainable.

But come to think of it, being judged cannot be escaped. It's already in the human nature, agree? Everyone judges, even me, but that doesn't mean it can't be controlled.

You're skinny? People might think that your parents don't feed you well.
You're fat? People will laugh at you about it.
You're kind to people? People can see it as flirting.
You're too mean? People think that you're rude and does't have respect.
You're too silent? People will think you're an anti-social and weird.
You're too loud? People will call you annoying.

Those are the barricades and reasons why people choose to be somebody else than being themselves. They are trying too hard to fit in.

Well you know what? Don't think that you're out-of-place, don't think that you're alone. People will love you for who you are.
People are telling you that you're different? Well stand up and tell them "So what? I'm limited edition."

Be proud of who you really are. Like what they say "It's better to be hated for who you really are than to be loved for someone who you are not". Do you guys agree with me?

You're skinny?
You're fat?
You're too kind to people?
You're too mean?
You're too silent?
You're too loud?

So what? Are you the only one in this world that's like that? Everyone can be skinny, anyone can be fat, anyone can be kind and so on. Is there something wrong with that? No. Will the world be destroyed because of that? No.Will dinosaurs exist again because of that? No.

You see? There's nothing wrong with who you are. YOU ARE BORN THAT WAY.

Take a look at your mirror.

What do you see?

I may not be seeing it but I see it as a beautiful person. You are beautiful and believe that.Don't let others make you think otherwise.

Take it all off. Take all of your insecurities off. Don't think about what others think about you because honestly, there's no such thing as perfection. People will always look for your flaws and you'll just waste your time from becoming perfect.
Nobody's perfect but you can be perfect in someone's eyes.

Do what you love,do what you want. So what if you don't have a good voice? If singing is what you love then go for it! So what if you're not ranked as number one in class? You can be better in your own way.
and...


So what if you're not crowned as the most beautiful? If you're happy about what you're doing, then go for it. Spread your wings, don't conceal anything.

Now. Stand in front of your mirror and tell yourself you are beautiful. Take everything that hides the true you.

Smile. Be free. :)

Goodnight.

It's almost 2am and my mind is filled with reasons why I couldn't sleep. I couldn't sleep ... because when you've said your last "goodnight" for today, I wondered if you'll ever need me for the next couple of hours. What if you couldn't sleep, or have been woken up from a nightmare, and I wouldn't be there to tell you that everything's going to be alright? Tell me what's bothering you at 3am and I will talk to you until you fall asleep. And by then I'll bid you Goodnight. I couldn't sleep ... because when I look at the ceiling, I'd wish that by the time I look beside me, I can see you, and not this pillow missing the warmth of your skin. And maybe by then we wouldn't need to have our phone in our hands, because I would intertwine your fingers with mine, and they'd fit perfectly, almost as if it's meant to be. And we'll look at each other's eyes Not on our phones Because we wouldn't have ...

Words vs. Actions

"Actions are better than words" that's what they always say, but honestly, there are still power in words, and sometimes words can beat actions because for me, actions can't really be emphasized without words, actions are there to prove your words. A little while ago, someone told me I'm useless and that stabbed me like a million knives, the funny part is, she asked me to help her on some things a few minutes after that. Does that mean I'm not useless anymore? Well yeah, you can say that some words can be broken like a promise and actions are the ones that doesn't help prove the words said, and that leads me to thinking...Words are as loud as actions. Words can hurt you as much as actions can, and words can make you feel something as much as actions can. So for this battle, words and actions are a tie. In life, we express our feelings through this two things, and that changes something. We communicate through words and express them through actions. B...

Some Alone Time

This blog has been mostly about positive outlooks in life and the future, but allow me to give you a little gray cloud on a sunny day. For the past few weeks, my family has been asking me about my depression. They'd ask how can I still not get over my parent's death ( read about it   here ). How can I if that triggered my depression on? I know they're worried, they told me that they give me the things I need... but then I thought... I don't need material things, I just need them to understand. When they inquire me what's really happening inside my nutshell, I'd just look down and tell them that it's not easy to define, and I told them that I'll just express all of it to my psychiatrist. But today, I decided to write all about it. I know that the negativity of this post isn’t decent, but at least hear me out. 3 years ago, a year after my mom died, I understood my father’s constant drinking of alcoholic beverages, and I also understood all his s...
