Relating to others

Ever put yourself in the shoes of others?

Some always do - thoughtful & caring.

Some never - selfish & stupid

My imagination went wild one day, and i put myself into the shoes of three people. I felt an uncountable number of emotions. From sad to happy, fustrated to carefree,and anxious to resignation. I realised how different ones life can be as compared to the person sitting next to them on the bus. When you stand in the train, have you ever thought that the person opposite may be dressed full of life but their soul has already been lost?

I feel that people naturally think too much about themselves and too little for others. A person who is standing by the edge of the roof or holding a piece of broken glass in his/her hand might be saying in the hearts, " My life is so screwed. I should just die and free everyone from the pain of dealing with me. Then everything would be alright." After that, they jump. They cut. They commit suicide.

But does the story end there? You bet it doesn't. "You are the author of your own life." The book stays open. Words are still being written. No longer by them, but by the people around them. You see, when you leave Earth, when you rejoin our dear heavenly father up there, people still down here gets whatever you leave behind. Selfish, stupid people just dump all the crap and go. Just like that. And you know who cleans it up. Selfish not to think about how others will feel when they're gone. Stupid to think that it's all going to be okay once they die.

On the contrary... People who live life to the fullest of it, people who know when it's time to go they still want to make plans to help others with whatever's coming next, these are the people who really care. Life is so unpredictable, dangerous, painful, adventurous. LIFE IS EVERYTHING. AND, IT'LL NEVER BE PERFECT.

So next time you complain about how your life sucks, think about them hearing your "horrible" life story. You'll never know.

Maybe theirs sucks even more?

Stronger now

"I've learned to stay strong without you." Independence. Learning to be strong and free. Sure it's nice to be pampered and taken care of, but, ever thought taking risks. Experiencing all that's out there? Feel the pain and the satisfaction that now a care-taker isn't there. Some people are just so reliant, when they're out here, in the real world, so vulnerable to everything reality is. Well, others are different. They're are forced to be strong. Because their care-taker aren't there anymore. But they, learn and nurture faster. Questions like whether you are home safely, eating your meals aren't asked anymore. You do what need to. Stand up by yourself when u fall. Sure here and there at some times people may help. But ultimately, it's all you. "Step out of your comfort zone." It always starts with fear. But there's no escape. You just got to do it one day. I was forced. Anger and fear was what i felt first. But i still thank my care-taker for doing that. Without that push, i would probably be so brittle to things.Never stronger as i am now.

A new me.

"New cut. New style. Unrecognized. Is it a chance? a sign? Is starting a new gonna be better or worse? Patching. Didn't work. Is this the end? Will the story go on?" Things that happen in life often makes us wonder... The questions why and how are constantly popping up in our minds. We all try our best to fix it. but sometimes it just cant be fixed.
What are we to do then? Let nature take its course. The more you force, the more damage you do. But in that period you just cant stop thinking... about the past, the present and the future. Unpredictable. I'm sure all of us had a time when we wished we could go back in time, not being on borned earth or beginning a new. A new life which no one knew about. Well... that's just the definition of life ain't it? Stop regretting. Move on. Treasure the good times and don't dwell on the bad ones.
