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. :)

Being Blind

Most of them say that being blind is hard. You wouldn't know where you are, you wouldn't know what's the color of this and that, you would't know how amazing earth is, you'll see nothing but darkness... But being blind doesn't mean you don't have any chances of living the good life in this world. You have the ears to listen, the nose to smell, the mouth to speak, and the skin to feel, and maybe, just maybe, that could be enough. You can listen to nature surrounding you. The rushing of the river, the chirping of the birds... You can smell what you're cooking and make it a perfect dish because you can smell the bad ones from the good ones... You can speak up your mind and also ask people for assistance because you can't really see them but you know they are there... And you have the skin to feel the wind sweeping on your face, the gentle touch of a person guiding you, the softness and roughness of things, and that's already enoug...

Making Life Choices: Freedom

Let me tell you a short story about a girl who had been in a fight with herself. Choosing between her friends since it's the last time they'll be together and it's her best friend's birthday, or her family who didn't approve of the location they were going to. In the end, she went with her friends anyway because she trusts them They enjoyed themselves and laughters were shared but despite all that, the girl was still a bit worried about what awaits her when she arrives home. After a while, it was time for them to go home from the cold spring. While on her ride home, she was bracing herself for the unlimited nagging of her family but...after a while, a smile flashed across her face. Why? Because she knew it will all be worth it. She had the best time of her life and she knew she made the right decision. She was just over-thinking. She went home and no one nagged her at all because she sticked to her promise that they will go home early. And that's no proble...
