"wow, so you're not that kind"
I get a little disturbed when people get to know me better and then they say "oh, so you arent that kind!". i get even more disturbed when people fail to qualify when they mean by that kind! haha.
i mean i remember how some people always told me i wasnt like a typical SCGS girl, but... really? what a shame! Im definitely not refined when eating/ sitting haha although vj skirts have taught me to (hopefully) haha. and then some will be "ooh, you're so typical!" especially my own friends from sc, ok so i guess that has refined my opinion on stereotypes being a non-constant as well.
with this point, i think i meant to get something else across.
i mean, it doesn't really matter how people view you, does it?
Just as long you stay true to yourself and your values, there shouldnt be any need to be angry at people who gossip about you, about people who criticise what you do, people who praise you for what you do. OK, Maybe these views can affect us, as it would affect any normal feeling human being, but it shouldnt be to such an extent that it disturbs our inner emotional equilibrium. Having said that, its also important to make sure your values are sound. Do you let people quickly shake them and leave you all fickle and undecisive? If that is, perhaps you havent really found yourself and that set of principles yet.
To tell you the truth, friends i really admire are those who have found that true set of principles that i personally agree with to, just havent found sufficient resolve to implement it. So to those who have found it ( I have 2 in mine, imagine, after so many years!), CHEERS TO YOU!
Today Oprah's show was giving CHEERS to those she admired and i found myself crying (so embarrassing ok!) everytime those people were surprised, just with simple cheers for their admirable actions.
Also, i think that really, the best way to speak for something, is to show it with actions. Its not easy, but really dont you think its the best? In fact it just disillusions one when someone else says one thing but never does that.
SO now, i would like to give CHEERS to both of you ( i think i told you before so yea :)), and to others who are sure they have found their principles, and are reading this. :)
