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.

Little Lessons in Life

We can't have everything.

I have to accept the fact that I can't have it all. I have to learn to accept things the way they are and try to be contented with them. I shouldn't wish for something that's not there or wish for something just because another person has it. And I can't keep comparing what I have to what other people have. It'll only make me sad because there's always going to be something that they have that I don't. The point here is that I should accept things and be happy with them. How I wish it could be easily done!

There is still something good in this world. 

No matter how much life seems to be oh so crappy, there's still something good to look forward to. Things may not be going as planned. Everyone and everything may seem utterly stupid. But something good will eventually come. Or maybe I just have to take a second and look around me to see it. It comes in all sizes, be it the little things or the big ones. I just have to remember that.

Don't be afraid of what people will think of you.

Everytime I come across this, I tell myself that I should do that but it's a hard thing to do. I can't help not worry about what the others think of me. I want them to like me. I want them to think that I am good enough. I want them to think I'm cool. So I do all these things just for them to like me even if it means pretending to be someone I'm not. I know I only end up limiting myself. Limiting myself because I don't allow myself to do something else for fear that they might think it's not 'cool'.

It's time I do what I want. Be who I am. I have to stop pretending. I have to stop living a life full of lies and pretensions. It's time to be real. What does it matter if I do something not cool? It's my life. I can do anything I like because in the end I only have myself to answer. I want that when I look back, I'll have no regrets because I did what I wanted to do.

There is no such thing as the right time.

See here.

Everyday is an opportunity to do things. The idea that I can do things NOW sometimes crosses my mind out of the blue and I'm struck by the realization that yes, I can bake some cookies now or I can go out and take a walk now. But what stops me from doing these things is laziness. I tell myself that I have to wait for the right time because doing them immediately seems wrong. I think that it has to take time til I can feel that it's the right time. But guess what? That feeling never comes. I just fooled myself. I missed my chance and when I'll look back on my life, I'm gonna realize that I missed a lot because I waited to do things.

Childhood Shows

During my childhood days, the television was my source of entertainment at home. The internet and Iphone and Ipad didn't exist yet at that time. I remember watching a lot of animes and cartoons back then. I think shows of my time were definitely a lot better compared to today. Although people always say their generation is better than the others, who can say?

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

"Sometimes people use thought to not participate in life."

"We accept the love we think we deserve."

"I just wanted someone to tell me the truth."

"You're a freak, you know that? You've always been a freak. Everyone says so. They always have."

"I feel infinite."

"You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand."

"And in that moment, I swear we were infinite."

"I am very interested and fascinated by how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other."

"People who try to control situations all the time are afraid that if they don't, nothing will work out the way they want."
