There will always be those dark days

These days almost never disappear, especially if you're the kind of person to think of things philosophically. Even after you make those resolutions to be happy in life, and not pay attention to things that don't matter, there will always be dark days. I had a slighlty dark evening last night. I was staring outside the window of my car as we were driving past trees and darkness to get home. I mean, obviously you're gonna think of things and music definitely helps. Sometimes i wish i would just stop myself from thinking things that could hurt me or others. But i can't. It's like the fact that if you tell yourself to stop thinking about it, in the end, you'll only think about it more. But at these times, when your mind is not cooperating with you, you should always talk to someone about it. Whether this someone is yourself, God or your best friend. Don't continue in your thinking all by yourself, voice your thoughts. As i learned from HIMYM, everyone has baggage, but you can always find people who will help you carry that baggage. This comes back to the point that humans are social beings. We need other humans to interact with or else we WILL go crazy. I understand that some human beings are introverts but that doesn't mean that they don't need anyone else to talk to (or do whatever with) once in a while. Because these interactions will give us hope, especially if we are in a dark place. I read this secret on postsecret and the person wrote "I'm having neck surgery Friday. I hope I die." Suicide is no laughing matter and it's apparent that this individual is going through a tough time. All i can say to this person is, hang in there and hopefully your recovery from this surgery will change your outlook on life.

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...
