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. :)

Choose: My Happiness or Yours?

We can’t deny that we’ve all been through this rough decision. You wanna go home but your friends want you to stay? You wanna buy your favorite shoes but your mom insists that the shoes she picked was better? You wanna be a teacher but your parents wants you to be an engineer? Those are just some of the hard decisions to think over. Whether you’ll go for what you want but the other side gets disappointed or you follow the wants of others and you just have to bear with it.  But to think of it, sometimes you have to fight for yourself. I mean, yes, you want to make them happy, but what about you? Are you gonna be happy? Yes, sometimes you have to think about others before yourself but it doesn't mean you have to do it all the time...because sometimes, people can abuse you for that. Would you want that? Definitely not. But then the thought that you're risking something over your happiness might come into mind. Take for example, your friendship. Yes, they

Maybe Life Isn't As Bad As You Think It Is

We all think that life is a challenge. An RP game that we are all a part of. We go through things that we think are our last challenge because we're just gonna pause it right there and not even think of a way to get over it. And now you're stuck at looking at a flat wall, and it's staring back at you. A tough life, that's what we all have. We have problems that we think will never arrive at our doorstep, but it did. When something goes wrong, we think that we rode the wrong train and there's no turning back. But maybe that's just how it's supposed to be. We've focused enough on the normal things that we didn't even wonder what's behind a mountain. We think that we're safe if we do things normally, and by doing things the normal way, there's nothing that can waver the norms. When we look at people smiling and laughing, we wish that our life will turn out to be like theirs, and we're not even thinking that maybe they have their own

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
