It's been awhile guys. I'm sorry for the late updates as I've been busy with new school projects and stuff. But here I am again, writing to you with loads of thoughts roaming my mind right now. And before I start, I hope you're having a great day. I randomly went through with whatever that has happened to me within the first month of 2017 and realised I've been learning more about people lately.

Judgement. Hatred. Jealousy.

These three main built-in characters in us seems to be killing all kinds of relationship we have with anyone nowadays.

You meet a new person. You start judging their looks. You talk to them, you judge their way of communicating. You get to know them, you judge their mentality and lifestyle. But why?

You start a conversation with someone. Both of you talk about your own point of views on a particular topic. Oh you get offended and you go against their opinion. Why?

You see a good friend of yours in a better position at work or at school. You get mad at him/her and the rest of the people involved. Again, why?

Back-stabbing, bullying, and so on, why are you hearing it so often these days?

Why are you, why are we spreading the negative vibes to people surrounding us? Why are you, why are we hurting people who love and support us? Why are you, why are we comparing ourselves with the rest? Why are you, why are we gossiping and spreading unnecessary rumours? Why are you, why are we getting offended so easily?

Instead of being judgemental, hating and complaining so much of whatever that revolves around you and being jealous of other's success; why not, spread more love and good vibes around you? Why not, be more sincere and genuine?

The thing is, why hate when you can love?

One thing's for sure, it all ties back to your own level of maturity.

Also, certain people are stuck in their own mental limitations by shutting their own minds without being able to accept other's opinions. And it always turn out to be offensive for them and they start cursing because they hate it when people talk about things they do not want to hear, instead they only want to hear what they love to hear. To be honest, you're lucky if there's someone who would talk to you upfront. That's when you know someone sincerely wants you to be a better version of yourself. If not, you should probably start looking for a true friend then.

You might have seen people captioning pictures of themselves with "Be Yourself " on any of their social platforms, but what did they really meant by being themselves? There's always a limit to be yourself.

Being yourself doesn't mean you can use spiky words to hurt others just because you think that you're being honest and straight forward; being yourself doesn't mean everything you do or say is always right; being yourself doesn't mean that everyone has to bare with your bad personality or attitude.

Let's turn it another way round.

Being yourself is good. But we have to know that being yourself includes of being harmless with the people you are with. You wouldn't want to hurt their pride with unpleasant words, spoil the things they believed in by going against their own opinion and judging them without knowing what kind of hardship they are actually going through to made them do so.

It's our choice to decide what kind of people we want to deal with in a society. But before that, you might want to start off with yourself. Ask yourself questions. Are you the kind of person who you would want to deal with in a society? What kind of a person you want to be? That says it all.

Until today, I still believe that there are good people in this society. I'm thankful for their existence and intentions to make this world a better place. All in all, be you, stitched up with good intentions.

Till next time,

Lots of love. x
