Knowing Someone

Too often in life, we assume that we know someone.
Worse than that - even more often - we judge a person before we truly know them.
But, have you ever had that moment in your life when you just can't comprehend the speed of your reputation preceding you - creating impression about your life in a way that you can't control and are not pleased about? (hell, at times it doesn't even contain a touch of fact)

For me personally, I want to be known by you for who I really am not from what you heard about me from other people - who heard stories from bunch of others, and the cycle goes on.
Don't you desire the same?
I believe that life and relationships will be much easier and better with no prejudice hiding behind the dark, ready to gallop and swallow harmony at every chances.

Well now, let's put it into our consideration
For each and every person we thought we know, think again.
For each and every label we put upon and we bear for ourselves, think again.

If you feel like you've been wrongly labeled with something whether it is positive or negative,
take it easy, proof them wrong and always be yourself.
Don't be too hard on yourself either.

If you've been putting labels to your friends and colleagues, please try not to.
Because darling, labels can weigh tons and the worse part is when you are "labelled" it can be very difficult to break free.

I mean,
how could we be so sure that we know someone to put labels upon them?

Even the strongest cry in their prayer
Even the humblest secretly find joy in praises
Even the loneliest have that one person they can always rely on
Even the one with most friends move on just as quickly when they grew apart
Even the most adorable person got forgotten after a while
Even the most religious person screw up sometimes
Even the meanest will sacrifice tons for the ones they love
Even the kindest got sick of things eventually
many more..

 And that is life.
One label cannot -in any way- define who we are.
We are so much more than that.

So before we judge,
before we even assume anything,
before we put labels for anyone that can lead to many other things,
think again, think twice whether you really know someone.

Things Taken For Granted

"The things we take for granted are the things we long for the most when they're gone" After bringing up the idea to my instagram story, I learnt from friends' kind responses that most of us have that little things that we have been taking for granted in this life. Things that worth so much more than we realise but we kind of forget just because we got them by grace, we got them already, and we got them without sacrificing much of ourselves. Little do we know, these things we take for granted, they are not going to be there forever and always and that is exactly why I wish for us all to take a moment to embrace it all and give these things more credit that we gave them for these things deserves so much more than this. Life. How often is it we forget that each day when we are able to open up our eyes to the bright sunlight is a grace in itself. It doesn't matter how hard, how miserable, how boring, how lonely you might feel your days currently are, the very b...

We Are Who We Are

"We are who we are,” A line of one of my current ongoing tv series good doctor that suddenly become a jolt of inspiration to reflect, to write once again. We are who we are and indeed we are all different. One very introvert and need her own space, one never runs out of the so called social battery. One likes to cook and bake and paint, one, on the other hand, likes to do math and statistic and accounting. One is very practical and energy conscious, the other one very in the moment and living life to the fullest. These differences, it sometimes feel like the barrier of us getting along. It sometimes feel like with each differences, the further away we become from creating a long-lasting friendship filled with “unconditional” love. Sometimes too, these differences create a heavy burden of expectation. Expectation to be slightly less different, expectation to change who you are for the sake of being “belong” in a group of people, expectation to di...

Making a Difference (?)

Looking at the million stars above me, wondering how far they all are, how wide this universe is, there's only one way this brain can go, "how on earth is the little insignificant me is supposed to make a change in this world?". There were some points in my life when I dreamed to be inspiring. Inspiring enough to be heard by millions, inspiring enough for thousands of people to follow me on social media, and inspiring enough for hundreds of people to read my blog posts. The dream to inspire was based on the hope that my life could mean something, could bring a change, could make this world just a little bit better. But then there were moments like these. When I realised that no matter how "inspiring" or not I am, it's kind of making zero difference in this world. I mean who are we? Just a speck of dust within the galaxy says Adam Levine's lost stars. How impactful should one be to change the world? Being a president? Being a miss universe? Being...
