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.

Brain's Taking a Dump

I've got a lot of things on my mind right now. I sometimes think that my brain's going to blow up if I start thinking about them again. The thing is this week has been one h*ll of a week for me. There were lots of works to be done and I didn't get as much sleep as I wanted to. I'm so looking forward to the weekend so that I might have a break even if it's just for a day.

So here are a few happenings, realizations, or whatever in my life this week:

• We cannot control everything. Sometimes the best way to go is to let things just happen and see where it takes us. We sometimes feel that we have to be in control of things so that everything will go the way we want it but being a control freak will only cause stress and disappointment, because not all things are meant to be controlled. 

• A friend of mine commented that maybe I was part of some kind of a royal family because of my look and actions and that maybe I was just being silent about it. This actually made me happy. I don't get a lot of compliments like this. Actually, it hit me that I was not the only one who thinks that other people might have a secret identity. I sometimes make up stories about the people around me whose qualities I find unique and interesting.

• If we want to do something, the best time to do it is NOW! We shouldn't wait for the right time and all that bullshark. You see, I have this tendency to think things over. For example, I want to bake but I have all these reasons that prevents me from doing what I want, like not having an oven or not having money to buy the ingredients or not having the time. I tend to tell myself that I'll do it once I have the money and time. This kind of thinking does nothing. Another example is I want to wear something stylish. But you know what I do? I wait for the right time to wear it. The right time that is never gonna come. So that's why we have to do things NOW rather than later. Live in the moment because we never know what will happen next, cliche as it may sound. 

• What if you suddenly find out that your time here on earth is almost up? Like you suddenly find out that you have cancer. It's quite sad, right? Knowing it's almost the end. That there are things you'll never get to do. We have to live life to the fullest so that there will be no regrets. Take every opportunity that comes because we don't know if we'll ever get something like that again. We should live like there's no tomorrow. 

• Some sayings may be cliche and overly used, but there's always a truth in them.

• My mind's cleared up a little after writing this. :)

A Cycle

It's me against the world,

The world against another world,

The world against another person,

Another person against me.

It's a never ending cycle!

Hey..this makes no sense. :)))
