Hating

Hating on celebrities has become almost like a sport. Everyone is trying to outdo the other by leaving the most hateful comments on a social network. Now I'm not judging, because I know I've done it too. But when you think about why you do it you realize it makes you kind of pathetic. The main reason people like seeing famous people mess up is because it makes them...or us, feel better about ourselves. We feel 'well at least I'm not as bad as so and so...'.

When someone in the music business, whos music I really like, does something really stupid (or even more than one thing) it doesn't have any impact on the quality of the music. If I like a song by a person I really don't like, then I'm going to listen to it. Bad/annoying/stupid people can in fact make good music, so what do I care what they're doing? If it's a good song then what does it matter what the person singing is doing in their PERSONAL lives?

I feel like movie actors/actresses get a lot less hate than say musicians or TV actors. I don't really understand why this is....But just because someone who plays in my favorite movie does something I don't like, it's not going to make we hate the movie.

Also, I try my very best to ignore what a person did and focus on the why they did it. If they have a good reason, or even a bad reason, then how can we blame them? I don't like the way people place celebrities on pedestals and expect them to do everything right, they're only human, they also make mistakes. Some more than others, but still. I know this post isn't going to make people stop hating, but I just wanted to get my opinion out there.

Don't hate the player people, hate the cheating ;)

How I handle problems...or how I should...

When something goes wrong in my life I tend to go into denial, or at least, that's what it may look like. I would pretend everything is wonderful, I'm just great and I don't have a care in the world. And I'm good at acting like that, but inside I would constantly be dwelling and worrying about this thing, whatever it may be.

I have now come up with a solution on how to gain perspective and sort your problems into order of importance.

When you have a problem, or multiple problems, think about how you're going to look at it in 5 years time. Are you still going to think about it, are you going to laugh about it, are you going to regret something? If you have to you could write it down, this shows you which of your problems (if there's more than one) are more important, if they're important at all, and you should be able to decide which ones to face first, and so work your way through them in order of importance.

I will be trying to do this every time I start worrying about something. I think it would be a great way to ease your stress if you think about how small or stupid this problem might seem in a couple of years.

So don't worry, be happy, and keep smiling!

My poem: Light

This is a poem I wrote a while back. While I titled it 'Light', because that's what it seems to be about, the title could also have read 'Faith' since that is what it's really about. Either way, I don't care how other people interpret it. But for me, it's about how having Faith changed my outlook on life, and influenced my thinking for the better.

Light

Indefinable

Untouchable

Unquestionable

Loving, Dancing, Laughing

into the darkened corners

of my mind

Illuminating

Eliminating

Eradicating

Lies, Doubts, Fears

I’ve collected

As my life passed by

Irrevocable

Unchangeable

Unquenchable

Filling me up.

Pouring, overflowing

from my eyes

Opening

Realizing

Knowing

My blindness,

gone

I see.

Life is Beautiful

I just finished watching 'Perks of being a Wallflower' for the third or fourth time, and I've realised what makes me love this movie so much. It's the way it shows how beautiful life is, even in those dark times when we feel lost or sad, or depressed, there's beauty in the feeling.

The greatest music is inspired by those times. People find themselves in the times when they feel like they've lost everything else. Our lives are shaped by those times that we feel most insecure and overwhelmed.

Life is beautiful, every second of it. And I believe that once we realise that, and start seeing the beauty in every moment, feeling and experience we have, our lives would be infinitely better. We're alive, and that's beautiful...

Weaknesses and Meanesses

‘So throughout our life, our worst weaknesses and meannesses are usually committed for the sake of the people we most despise.’

I’m currently reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, and I read this sentence, and i thought: this is so true. So I just had to write down my thoughts on it...

We’re usually the worst version of ourselves when we’re around people we dislike. We tend to get overly dramatic and we hurt the people we do like, just to ‘show them’ that they can’t get to us. And yet, that’s exactly what we let them do: get to us. We try to act all tough and uncaring, but in the end, the people for who's benefit we do that don't even notice.

It’s also true that  we try extra hard to impress the people we don’t like. Isn’t that strange? Aren’t we supposed not to care what they think? We don’t care about them, so why do we care what their opinion is of us? And yet, we dress our best, act more confident, try to be someone we’re not, just for the sake of those people that we don’t like.

I tend to do this quite a lot, and in my case I think it’s about the fact that the people I don’t like make me feel uncomfortable, maybe even inadequate, and so I try to make myself better. The thing is, it doesn’t really work. You’re still not going to like them, so why even bother? Most probably they don’t even notice how you’re acting, or dressing, so I’m going to try to be myself, even around the people I dislike.

Blogging...

So, this blog has been without posts for almost...I don't know...a year?

But, lately I've had this urge to write...and so I thought, why not just continue with the blog I already have? If nobody reads it, then thats no more or less than the number of people currently reading what I'm writing, so I've got nothing to lose.

I'm just going to blog random stuff, maybe some poems, my thoughts, what I do...whatever...when I feel like it. I'm not going to be pressuring myself into writing. It doesn't work.

So this is me...being a blogger...sort of...

Thinking about thinking...

I know it's been way too long. So here it is:

Yesterday I was thinking, wondering actually if some people think more than others. I mean conscious thinking, not subconsciously. I sometimes feel like I'm permanently thinking, too much. So I was thinking about this and I wondered whether normal people ever think about what they think? I do that sometimes. I think 'Why did I think this?' Or I argue with myself in a way. So I was wondering if that was normal and then I wondered if it was normal to wonder if it was normal...or to even be thinking about it...is that normal?

I'm so weird...
Haha ttyl peoples!
