| | Something I do every now and then is read the blogs I wrote a year ago. I did that today... and realized that exactly a year ago, I was trying to fight the same thing that I'm going through presently. And for some reason, I had more strength to resist making mistakes last year. It's really ironic, because I think that if I read what I believed a year ago ... I might have not made those mistakes at all.

Alright. So after my week, I've come to realize a few things. I've been so frustrated with a lot of things. Like one. Who listens to anything anymore? People have ears right? Yet they don't use them. People tend to only use their eyes, which are so objective. And how sad to people who think I don't listen, or I won't listen. Or that I won't keep an open mind, or that I don't even have an open mind. How people think they can read what I'm thinking by just looking at me. How people tend to think only of themselves and not others, or don't even bother to wonder how another person might react to an action they did. How people can judge a person by focusing on just one aspect of them and not bothering to know the others. How easy it is to say "I don't like that person" ... but based on what? And how easy it is, to just get mad. And again, based on what?
Why is it so easy to make fun of someone yet so hard to show appreciation? Easy to get mad but so hard to forgive. Easy to be stubborn. So easy to playfully smack someone but so hard to hug them? So easy to jokingly say "but I love you" but so hard to say it like you really mean it? "But if I do that, it'll be awkward." Will it really? People are the ones that make things awkward. Not gestures. Not words.
I just wish some people would see that. I wish everyone I know would see that. I wish people would just think outside of themselves, for one second. See the bigger picture. Think about the bigger picture.
I'm going to continue to follow what I believe in. I almost let myself be swayed by other people's actions and thoughts but I've come to realize that what really made me unhappy this week, was the fact that I almost lost myself. And I can't let that happen again...
And look. It did happen.

When life gives you lemons...
... eat them. And when your face gets all puckered up, and when you can't stand the sourness, then you know never to eat them again.
What's it really about, anymore? Uncertainties, worries. Why does everyone seem to focus on those, and just on those? Whatever happened to focusing on happiness? Live and let go. Make mistakes, learn from them. Know never to make them again. It's easy to say, but be smart. Have common sense. Why do stupid things, think stupid things, say stupid things, when you know they're stupid? Why get caught up in things that shouldn't even concern you? Why wonder where someone has gone, when they never even left?
Let the people you love know that you love them. Friends, family, significant other. Show your concern, appreciation, care, for them.
Why dance around the truth when you know life is short?
Words of wisdom from the me I want to become again.
