Not The Whole Story


"yet it doesn't tell the whole story..."

 How often it is do we assume that we know things just because we got to see the tiniest glimpse of it
How often do we got taken aback when some couple, who seems to be super happy in their Instagram posts, ended their relationship
How often do we egoistically put the blame on someone just because we think they don't have as much problem as we do
How often do we believe that a man is despicable over just one single mistake
How often do we make judgement about an ex-boyfriend from her side of heartbreak only
How often do we think that the girl, who we believe got everything under her control, doesn't deserve to break down once in a while.

Let me tell you now plain and simple, it never tells the whole story.

You don't know that those couple had been tangled in the toxic-draining-relationship that doesn't lead anywhere
You don't know that the person you blame had already sacrificed a lot, fighting over both her physical and mental fatigue, just to make things a little bit easier for you
You don't know that the man had only so little choice - either sacrificing his dignity or his son's
You don't know that the ex-boyfriend was the one hurt most from all the verbal abuse
You don't know just how many times the girl cries herself to sleep at night because of the certain standard that people constantly put upon her shoulder

You see now?
It never is the whole story.
Quit victimising yourself
Quit talking about other people when actually you have nothing to do with them
Quit being self-centred and think that every single thing in the world is about you
Quit putting overly high expectations both on yourself and the people you love, let all breathe once in a while.

This post, it doesn't tell the whole story
but it must do, at least for now.

    But then will there ever be a whole story?
    Can anyone tell a whole story?
    What is a story?
    Is there a God?
    Are we here?
    What is life?

    This is short but so true. </3 Nothing tells the whole story these days, and I think the sheer amount of social media we consume doesn't help with this either. Thank you for writing xx

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...
