The hard way, the bitter way and the
beautiful way…
1) Differences…
…we are cut from different pieces of
cloth – some are great for comfort, some made to be sturdy. If you know from
the look one's a yard from a roll of corduroy, pick something else to make
lingerie.
2) Moving on…
…the truest test is
being able to laugh about it – in front of the ex’es face and the current’s –
if having moved on is even true. And I don’t mean the nervous laugh tickled by
butterflies in the stomach.
3) That it is important…
…to love myself as much as I love other
people and love other people as much as
I love myself. As it is as important to forgive myself and other people for annoying habits, offensive humor or for simply being unforgivable.
4) That there will be people…
…who you wish you met and choose the
story to end there. But you cannot because they are instrumental of what you have become. Forgive yourself, who knows, that feeling of regrets and or annoyance
is mutual.
5) That there is goodness…
…in every person, that there is a
bright side to every situation - as there is a bad hair day once in a while and
PMS-ing to a woman. Simply there is goodness even in imperfections.
6) That to say…
…you don’t care what people say and
feel about you is so selfish because you have the moral obligation to make other people’s lives
happy and easy as well and not only yours. So you don’t steal other people's happiness or partners etc., apart from not to steal is commanded and in spite the usual excuse of
shortage in the supply of men or whatever.
7) That there is truth…
…in what people say no matter how bad
they are, no matter what the tone and motive is – so think that you and other
people who matter can benefit from the change. Pickup what can
build your character, discard what can destroy you.
8) That some people…
…will make you feel you are less, point
out that you are ugly, or that you are old, not because they are true or that
it matters, but only because they want to feel they are worth so much more and
that they are buried in their own miseries. So it’s not always about you.
9) How they treat you…
…depends on how much they value you.
And how hurt you are depends on how much you value them. Don’t worry, it’s only
as bad while you are stuck with them.
10) Not
everybody…
…has to matter. Chillax! :)
