Food for the Brain 7

Some people seem to have things easy for them while others seem to be struggling just to make it at the end of each day. Others seem to find it easy pleasing people, saying and doing the right things. They need not worry about making a great impression because it comes naturally to them. I wish I was that kind of person. I wish I could be confident. That's why I find it hard to do things like pleasing people even in little ways because I just don't think I have a talent for it. It's hard for me. I tell myself that I'll repay that person for the good things he/she has done to me in a big way, thinking that by doing so I have repaid that person that equates to what he/she has done for me. But the problem with that kind of thinking is that a long time may have passed before you could actually return the favor. And it might be too late.

The only thing I can advice anyone is to be themselves. Don't try too hard to make a good impression or to please others. If they like you for you, then that's the greatest compliment you can get. Like what they say, better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for what you are not.

In my last days of Junior year and throughout my Senior year I became interested in Mills and Boon books. I don't read the modern Mills and Boon. I'm referring to the old ones. It's quite a good thing our school library had them. I enjoyed reading the different love stories and I loved how I was introduced into an earlier era of simple luxuries and technology-less world.

The one above caught my attention while reading one of the books. Isn't that what we all want? To be important? To be wanted? It's what everybody wants I'm sure. Sometimes, we think that we are loved and think of ourselves as someone important and when we find out that we we're not, it's life-shattering and makes us doubt our beliefs. We react in different ways. I guess when we know we are loved even if it's just one person, it'd be enough to face the world again.

Kids. They are quite fascinating little beings. Truth be told, I'm scared of them. I know they are so cute and all but I'd rather just admire them from afar. I'm scared of what they are going to say. It could be anything. They could bluntly tell or ask you things that will sometimes take you by surprise. We can learn a lot from them, you know. But a sad truth is that some children are in an environment where they can't realize their potential. I mean their minds are corrupted. They've been exposed to too much wrongness that they become these little bastards. That may sound mean but that's what I think. I'm sorry. I wish all children are provided a safe and friendly environment.

There is no such thing as the right time or right place or right anything. If you're planning on doing something, do it now while you still have the time because if you wait for the perfect time to do it, the chance might just pass you by silently and swiftly thereby missing your opportunity. What a loss. We ought to do things now not caring whether it's going to go well or not. Mistakes are a part of our life. It's where we learn so that we'll know what to do the next time.

We cannot, shouldn't wait for things to just happen. We can't think like something's gonna happen anytime now just by sitting around doing nothing. No, nothing's ever gonna happen if we just sit idly. We tend to think that life's gonna give us something good anytime now. That we just have to wait. Trusting fate to do all the work. It's the worst thing we can do. You sitting by the table, sipping your coffee, drumming your lazy little fingers on the table while waiting stupidly and expectantly for a thing that's never gonna come. We have to take action. We must do something to achieve what we want. The only way we can ever get anything we want in life is to work hard for it. Earn it.

THIS hit rock bottom for me. Explaining is not my forte. When someones asks me a question with a why? in it I end up stuttering, mumbling and looking like a fool. I have a hard time telling people my opinions and feelings. And when I try, I don't exactly deliver what I had in my mind. Well anyways I'm off the topic now. :) Going back... If a person can make a child understand his beliefs, etc., then it would mean the person knows what he's talking about because explaining something to a child is not easy.

I guess this'll be my last post for a while. New and big changes are coming to me in a day or two. 'Til next time!

The one above is what my Gr. 8 English teacher used to say to us. That one really stuck to me because at first I thought she meant that the noisy classmates were like a noisy river and the silent ones were the deep river but upon  closer inspection, there is something else in that saying. I can't exactly put it into words but there is something in that.

Well, on another note.. I don't think I'll be able to update my blog anytime soon. I'm moving out and to where I'm going, there's no access to computers which really suck~!
