It still makes me happy that I am now doing my 401st blog entry. This gives me a f eeling of having a new beginning again. New beginnings always bring the feeling that you are becoming a stronger and a better person.
I remember before, I had a fear of having my blog read by my relatives. As much as possible, I only want my friends and online friends read my blog. But we know that technology is making the world smaller and smaller. And now, you can just connect to all people you know, as well as connect your blog, life stream accounts, and social networking sites into just one site, particularly Facebook.
I suddenly realized that all of us have his/her own opinions and we should never be ashamed of it. It maybe wrong and it maybe right, but opinions are opinions. Sometimes, sharing your opinions will make you realize if it is right or wrong. We just need to be open minded. Different and contrasting opinions really do exist. It’s up to you what to believe in.
I also realized lately that we really can’t please everyone. Well, I realized this fact many times already in the past but sometimes, it is really just depressing when people won’t get to like you. Of course, I know some of us would want the people around us to like us, but of course that would be a very hard thing to do. Sometimes, we just keep on pleasing those people, though there are times when all we can say is “If you don’t like me, then don’t. I don’t like you either”.
Well, a friend hasn’t been replying to all our text messages lately. I want to ask him, “What’s the problem? Are you really that busy that you can’t even answer us with a simple yes or no. If you really don’t want to communicate, then I assume you are irritated by our messages. Okay, then I’ll stop communicating with you”. Of course, friend are friends. I know I can’t afford to hate a friend for a long time but sometimes, things happen that cause misunderstanding. But I care, and I will always care.
Happiness… We know and we feel what makes us happy. We just need to follow our hearts. I am afraid of blaming myself in the end when I just let myelf my happiness go. But of course, we should also take into consideration others’ feelings.
Oh well, lots of realizations recently and I am happy that this new start really made me hopeful for better things to come.
