Haven't been blogging as much lately.. Just doesn't feel like it... Maybe in a few months' time when I'm in uni... Then probably I'll have more privacy to do so...
Recently, a few friends of mine have been blogging about "flaws", "changes" and "growing up"... Kinda interesting topics and related to each other... Here's my view on that...
It's a man's natural instinct to criticise people... The way a person looks... The way a person thinks... The way a person acts... The way a person behaves.. Because everyone has flaws...
Everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE (yes, including you you-hot-looking-stuff-in-front of-the-monitor-reading-my-blog-right-now-person).. It doesn't matter how flawed a person is... It matters the most when we admit that we are indeed FLAWED... It takes much courage to do so... "I'm short.. I'm fat... I'm not good-looking... I suck in sports... I'm a nerd..." So what if I'm all of the above??? Does it mean that my life is DOOMED??? Does it mean that I should die so that i do not pass this "disease" of flaws on?? Well... Some of us, in a way, do think like this, do we?? But not me... Yes.. We are beautifully flawed... I might suck in sports... But I definitely excel in my studies... Does that make me a nerd??? If you wanna put it that way, be my guest... I don't mind... Maybe just a bit...
But... Do I have to live with my flaws all my life??? Do I have back away from doing sports 'cos I suck at it?? Do I have to feel embarrassed just because my body looks like a pumpkin?? NO!!! Some flaws can be "fixed"... Some flaws can be "beautified".. Not all though... I'm short as I am... And I know that... Others, can be "treated"... My body for example... I can work out so that I look less "prosperous".. It helps improve my health too.... I can also participate in sports even though I'm not good at it... Just for fun.. The only matter that is in the way is US... OURSELVES...
We have to take the first step ourselves... To change our mindset... Then only everything else will come easily.... It's just like growing up... A scary yet inevitable process... We can't always tell people "Hello Uncle, I'm 5 years old. And I wanna poo poo..." We grow... Our bodies change... So as our mind... We grow lots of hair (you know what I mean, right?)... Our appearance changes... And... Our thoughts mature... We think differently as before... Why??? Why CAN we grow??? It's because that we want to... It's because we accept all those changes in us...
Yes... Our childhood is sweet... Lots of enjoyment... No stress... Just like our flaws... As beautiful as it is... But... Our teens are even sweeter... We learn things... We meet people... We go places... But we have changed... Just like our "polished" flaws.. More beautiful as before...
Came by this great song the other day on the radio It doesn't sound like the kind of music I like to listen to What caught my attention was the lyrics It infuses life into lifeless body It injects hope to the hopeless It colours up a grey day
Dun believe me??? Try it...
Flipsyde - A Change
[Verse 1] If it wasn’t for my pain Then I wouldn’t know my strength If it wasn’t for my future I won’t be fightin here today
And of course, I know my way up Cause I fell the same way down What matters is what you do When the troubles come around
Take a step now Get up on your feet Gotta be brave No clouds above thee
Follow your heart And then you’ll see There’s always a way Hold on tight Tomorrow will bring Every key to every locked dream It ain’t hard as it seems
[Chorus] Baby don’t cry Things are bout to change Baby don’t cry Things are bout to change And all the hurt and the tears Will be just history And all the doubts and the stress Will be just history And all the hurt and the tears Will be just history And all the doubts and the stress Will be just history
[Verse 2] Your mind carries heavy weight And your knees are kinda weak You wanna run and fly away But you hurt the wound is deep
You feel like it’s time to give up When your soul is cryin loud Nothing lasts forever You will find your way
Take a step now Get up on your feet Gotta be brave No clouds above thee
Follow your heart And then you’ll see There’s always a way Hold on tight Tomorrow will bring Every key to every locked dream It ain’t hard as it seems
[Chorus] Baby don’t cry Things are bout to change Baby don’t cry Things are bout to change And all the hurt and the tears Will be just history And all the doubts and the stress Will be just history And all the hurt and the tears Will be just history And all the doubts and the stress Will be just history
[Verse 3] I only wanna be a real man I already got a real plan I ain’t gotta be rich I ain’t gotta have wealth
I just do the best I can Cause the life of a child Innocent’s worth more Than a ring and ya new jeans
Got love in my life And that’s all that I need You believe and you succeed And through the pain and the hard times
We push on with our head high Each one reach one clothe one feed one Do it right now, its time
Things about to change Oh yes, we can Things about to change Yes yes we can
Things about to change Oh yes, we can Things about to change Yes yes we can
Things about to change Oh yes, we can Things about to change Yes yes we can
[Chorus] Baby don’t cry Things are bout to change Baby don’t cry Things are bout to change And all the hurt and the tears Will be just history And all the doubts and the stress Will be just history And all the hurt and the tears Will be just history And all the doubts and the stress Will be just history
From now onwards, I've decided to use a much simpler layout so that the blog would be more manageable, which, hopefully, implies more posts in the future.
Anyhow, if you have any opinions, do comment on the newest post.
