Let's Talk

July 17, 2019

I've been through a lot of shit, barely anyone has an idea of it all because I try to not mention most of them. If I do mention some of them, I say it in a lighthearted way so that it won't create an awkward atmosphere.

Too many people take what they have for granted, I'm obviously no different, but I do consider myself to be more aware of it than most people. Through it all, keep in mind I'm only 16 and that I still have so many years ahead of me (insh Allah), I've learned to accept that some people, no matter how hard you try to please them, they will NEVER appreciate you. I try not to be disappointed every time, however it still stings and I've got a long way to go before I finally fully accept this.

What hurts even more is that those people can be the closest to you, forget relationships, they can be your closest relatives whom you've seen as perfect since you were a child! Of course, I'm very lucky to even have relatives, a complete family and all the above compared to other people's situations (hence why I mentioned that no one can be absolutely grateful). I just wish that given all the people and things we have, we could try to appreciate everyone else a little more. If there's a problem, talk to the person you're having a problem with. If someone's talking to you about a problem they have with you, shut up and listen instead of trying to justify your actions. Keep an open mind to everything, even if they go against your beliefs, just listen. Don't be a hypocrite, look at yourself before looking at others. Stop blaming and accusing and lying. Don't make jokes when someone is trying to explain how they feel, be serious! All of these should be common sense, however they are not and they are damaging relationships, friendships, connections, between people everywhere.

On that same note, I never knew how many fake people there are. Man there are so many types of fake people, it's honestly amazing. You can be pretty, but have a horrible personality. You can be ugly and still have a horrible personality. You can be anything but you can still have a horrible personality. The funny thing is, depending on what others think of us, we're all fake some way. Some girl might see me as a two sided bitch while I think of that same girl's cousin that way. Meanwhile, little Johnny might think that I'm the sweetest person while he thinks that the girl who sees me as a fake bitch is a two sided hoe. However, everyone has the option to choose between what kind of mindset they'd like, which will influence the type of personality they'd develop. Life is not black and white, try to see all the different colours in between. There's always a better, more positive and liberal mindset that you can choose to have instead of being a negative nancy, which will only lead you to crippling depression and a shaky health.

I've also learned through my mother and father's marriage that cooperation and loyalty are everything. If there's no cooperation and loyalty, there's no unity, with no unity, you've created a barrier in between yourselves and have placed each other as enemies or competitors. Of course there are other elements like trust, honesty, kindness, blah blah blah, but I truly feel like the two above are the glue to a stable and happy relationship. Of course, the goal is to find love, which is a compound of all those different elements and hopefully everyone finds their "true love", but I feel like loyalty and cooperation are the foundations.

As I'm writing this, I just want everyone to be grateful in whatever circumstances they are in, to keep a liberal open mind and be cooperative. Before you say anything, ask yourself, "how can we solve this in the least harmful way?"
