I was fixing my papers and works from past grades and I saw this work of mine from Grade 7 and it's 'bout my personality; got a 98 for it. But that was not the thing that got my attention. Below the paper I saw my teacher's comment and it was interesting. It said that "why do you hate yourself?". Reading that got me wondering for quite some time. That was like 2 years ago already. Things change and maybe I did....I don't really know.
There are a lot of things that I wish that I wasn't yet I am. Guess that is normal as no one is perfect and its free to wish. Even the most perfect and most ideal person that we look up to got some things that they never really wanted. I think I hated myself because I want to change some things in myself. Maybe that time I wanted to be someone I was not. Maybe I thought that time I need a whole change-up; maybe from my appearance to my character. If I was just there when I wrote that essay I'd probably sock myself. That was a stupid thing to write. Why? Because I can never have everything I want. That's the damn truth. There are many things that I got that others don't and that is damn enough to be thankful. Why hate yourself ? Life may be a bitch but always be proud and thankful for who the you are.
That was two years ago. Things have had changed and I guess, though little by little, I did. There are a lot of things we wished we have or we are that just can't happen and its up to us if we'd pursue that wish you have or not. But the point is never ever hate yourself; don't hate who you are rather love it and cherish it. Now if you're a bad guy then that's a different blog entry but still you gotta love and just accept who you damn are. Hate leads to nothing but acceptance, that's the road to happiness (well not really but that's a different story). Be happy with what you have and who you are, then you will learn to appreciate even the simplest of things. You'll learn to appreciate and maybe even love the people around you that you never really care 'bout. It all starts there, in your mind and in your heart. "You'll never appreciate the things life has to offer if you can't even appreciate what you are". Acceptance, simply complicated yet it makes a difference.
But the thing is...I never fully learned that ^_^
:) Smile Always :)
