There’s a lot of unspoken pressure to keep liking the things you used to like and to keep dressing the way you’ve always dressed and to never question what you believe in and basically “be yourself” has slowly morphed into “be what everyone knows you as” but trust me when I say if you just give it up and simply make decisions and take actions based purely on what would make you happy, you’ll gain a very comforting sense of self peace.

Advice.

If there’s one advice I could give to anyone, it’d be that you shouldn’t let anyone tell you what to do. Never let anyone define you as a person. Not your best friend. Not your significant other. Not even a family member.

I always stress the phase, “be yourself.” Because it’s true, you SHOULD be yourself. Why should you live your life to satisfy others when they (probably) aren’t doing the same for you?
The thing that I’ve witness about humans would be that they always want to shape those around into people who just like themselves. But what’s a world with no originality?

Being yourself should never be crime. It should never be shunned and it should never be bashed on. You were born into this world to either 1) make a difference or 2) be the difference.

And in all honesty, ever since I accepted myself, I’ve lived a better life. Even if it meant leaving behind the ones who couldn’t accept me, for me.

"If a guy wants to be with a girl, he will make it happen, no matter what. So trust me when I say if a guy is treating you like he doesn't give a shit, he genuinely doesn't give a shit. No exceptions."

Tip of the day: It's okay to be alone.

Over a period of time, you will realise the people around you, have to leave, by choice or by death. Whether you like it or not, you have to face things alone.

It's okay to be alone. Sometimes I put in my earphones, have my favourite playlist blasting all day long and just forget the world and its happenings.

It's okay to be alone. We do need friends and companions. But reserve some quality time for yourself.

It's okay to be alone. Being alone is healthy. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by others.

It's okay to be alone. We all have that particular time where we really need to be alone.

Being alone simply means happily alone, not miserably alone. There is no better time than now for you to allow yourself to be happy. It is time to embrace yourself and all that you have to offer.

Be alone; give yourself the chance to learn about yourself, expand your soul and allow yourself to grow. Enable each chapter of your life to help you become a better you.

But remember to walk out of that me space when you've had enough of alone-time.

Sometimes it is a lot easier to write out how you feel than to tell someone about it.

The older you get, the more you understand how your conscience works. The biggest and only critic lives in your perception of people's perception of you rather than people's perception of you.

When I say I am ugly.

I’m serious.
At times, don’t get me wrong, I think I’m a bit decent looking. But overall, I think I’m so unattractive. I’m not fishing for compliments. They’re so many stunning girls, I can’t even compare. Whatever they do, whether it’s making silly faces, pooping, anything, they’re still pretty while doing it. Fuck. I wish I was more appealing. Honestly. 

Can something last forever?

Is it really possible for someone’s feelings to always stay the same for someone else? Can the things you want to stay permanent, stay the way it is forever? Can we promise something that involves “forever” and not break it? Or is the word “forever” just a term to describe what you want but probably won’t end up getting? 

Today I met him at a little bookshop.

He had the most glistening beautiful brown eyes. A man with intellectual thoughts and wisdom. He was well mannered, yet unexpected. What was it that made him stand out? Was it the accidental fate of meeting him at a bookshop? Or was it the fact that he enjoyed reading?
It was both.
