A story ~ Water Flower

It takes a really mature person to be able to say that they will still continue to be themselves even if someone else does not like them.

I'm still kind of grappling with the fact that I think that I have met someone who doesn't understand me, or feels uncomfortable hanging around me, simply because we are just two really different people.

I don't hate this person particularly, but I just don't know how to act around them because I can tell they don't know how to act around me.

At first, it really decreased my self-confidence because I really want to get along with everyone that I meet, but if it makes them uncomfortable just because I am myself, then I can't do anything about it.

When I looked myself in the mirror before, my confidence came from the fact that I knew that everyone I knew were comfortable around me in some shape or form. But now, I have to face myself and realize that even if I haven't done anything wrong, not everyone is going to like me just because I am me. However, if I can't do anything about who I am, then this isn't my problem, it is theirs.

I am not always to blame. I have to remember that. And, it's not my responsibility to convince other people to like me.

There's a point where I have to put my foot down and state that I am willing to  improve myself, but I am doing it only for myself. I'm not going to change who I am just because other people don't like who I am, especially when I've done nothing wrong to them.

I hope to be able to look into the mirror soon enough and tell myself that even if other people don't like me, that I don't have to change myself at all. I never have to change for them.

I am who I am, and others may not get that, but that's fine. That's beautifully fine.

While listening to this song:

You could look at..…the ocean waves on a nice, sunny day.

You could be with.....yourself. 

You could do something.....Give yourself a wonderfully big and cozy hug. 

You could eat or drink.....what is the food that cheers you up the most?

You could remember that.....this song is one of the songs that make me feel most like myself, but that may not apply to you. Everyone's musical tastes are different, but that is okay. That is what helps to make us unique and special and you don't have to be sorry for not fitting into other people's tastes.

☽ Jantung Hati

[image source: Mr. Sonjaya (Youtube) ] A story ~ Jantung Hati [ jantung hati means "apple of my eye"] Follow the one who walks where she may, Footprints behind shake off ash and gray. Polished pearls dazzle Parade, parade Umbrellas of red leaves, catch  the rain. Apple of my eye Clipped from the branch. Roll on, roll on Slipping underneath, Shadows of a sheath, Ripely bruised from a beating. Talk, talk, talk. A harvest fresh to eat. Echo, echo. We can't choose our families, Walk, walk, walk. Unless we run from our mothers. The brightest halo  is always kin, To the shadow under its cover. Roll over and over Soon it will be over. She's been through it once, And through it another. Abandoned, But free. Running through hues Of red leaves. The apple of my eye, Reconciling. 🍁 🍁 🍁 While listening to this song: You could look at..... red and orange leaves during autumn. You could be with..... a dear friend or relative who you know has been tested through the ups and downs...

☽ Terlukis Indah

[image source: Liputan6 ] A story ~ Terlukis Indah [terlukis indah means "beautifully painted"] "I'm pretty sure many people have asked you out." "What? Really? I'm not girlfriend material though." "What do you mean?" "Well you know, I'm just...socially awkward." "Yeah but, it's a quirk though. You're quirky." "Um, it's a quirk yeah--until it isn't."  Sometimes, I'd always look at other girls and I'd wonder what it would be like to look so stunning. Kpop idols are compared to flawless anime characters, Hollywood celebrities transform into international sex icons, and I look like just one of millions of Asian girls with glasses. To me, it's always appeared like being physically hot gave someone so much privilege (followers, complements, status) to the point that it was like the pre-requisite for attractiveness. Though, what my friend told me, plus some other things I learned I g...
