Weird things are happening...

I never knew that life could go by so quickly. Well...okay, maybe i knew that much. But it's funny to me to see all the changes that are happening around me. Firstly, where i work, people are dropping like flies, randomly disappearing for days only to find out, they've left the job. Or other people are getting promoted and being moved around the department. Some are even getting hired because with all the layoffs, the workload remains the same. What i don't understand is that why is this company hiring new individuals when they can just NOT LAYOFF those who have worked here for a long time and actually know what they're doing, so no training is required. One of my managers no longer works here anymore. I have NO CLUE what happened. I'm sure if you're about to be layed off, they give you a notice a few weeks in advanced...weird. And i've just about had it with certain people i work with. I guess this is what happens when you put a bunch of random people together in order to form friendships. Not everyone needs to be friends with everyone. I don't understand why everyone needs to hangout with each other like a happy family. Let's get realistic people. Everyone is different. It just gets awkward when you're sitting there and you have nothing to talk to about...when the truth is, you do have a lot to talk about, but you'd only do so with people whom you consider to be your good friends. If i do not want to tell you how my weekend was, then i do not want to tell you. Why does there need to be a discussion about it. Let's just drop it. I'm a pretty private person as i don't display my thoughts or my life stories out in the open too easily, especially things that matter to me. (oh, the irony) I only tell my best friend(s). Right now i can only think of a few people i'd share everything with, and these people, i can count on my hand, cuz there's not many of them. The thing is, i've learned in life that you should "listen to many and speak to few" cuz it's for the best if you don't get attached to every human being that's polite to you. Technically, you shouldn't get attached to anyone as it is the clear logical and rational decision, but at times we cannot avoid attachment because it is in our nature. However, upon making decisions one must be sober. How some people can continue to make irrational decisions over and over again about the same issue, is just crazy. And when your "ex-best-friend-who-is-just-a-friend-now" friend, makes them. You just bow your head in shame and pretend as if you don't know her. I used to care about what she'd do before but now the game is completely different. I'm not caring for someone who clearly doesn't care enough for me. So while people are losing their jobs, talking about bullshiet, or re-igniting an ex-friends with benefits flame, I'm sitting here watching these weird things happen.

Impressions

First impressions are undoubtedly very important. I mean, I find myself in a career where I need to go into the classroom with confidence and a glowing attitude or else my students will walk all over me and take advantage. And God only knows that I don’t want to be a doormat again (this ain’t London). I know that in a classroom, it’s not about being aggressive, rather assertive . That is the first impression I want to be able to depict to my students right from the get-go. Because let’s be honest, I still feel like a little girl (thank you petite-ness). Any important situation whether we’re at an interview, at a party or meeting our work team, the first impressions are so important and most of the times spot-on. Of course, you shouldn’t just judge someone on their first impression if it wasn’t the best, give them that benefit of the doubt. One feels more comfortable judging after they get to know someone. I mean, the truth is that you can’t live your life without being judged, t...

Thank you for the lesson

  A long time ago I came across some words of wisdom which explained the importance of forgiveness. At that stage in my life, I was completely anti forgiveness. I still understand why, and though I’d like to say my views on said topic have changed, I’d be slightly lying. I’m very good at blocking things out of my life, that’s how I cope. But every once in a blue moon, you get an unnecessary, by chance reminder. And it kinda takes you to mental head space you had kept far away. A few (many) words that I want to say to my past self; “You knew better. How could you allow it time after time? You wasted your time investing energy and effort into a dead end. Feels dumb doesn’t it? Everything that was said, was said to break you, all excuses, immaturity and white noise. Realize it and understand. Not everyone you meet will have good intentions and true sentiments. Life becomes easier when you learn to accept the apologies you’ve never gotten. Don’t free the criminal from the crime, just f...
