kindness is what the world needs today | February 05, 2020

@lan nuhai thing is you know it, you admit it and you wanted to apologize for it. just always remind yourself that people have different levels of sensitivity, for sure that will keep you think before you can actually speak. 🙆

That's what I hate about myself. My mouth is faster than my brain. There are times that I don't realize what I said. And when I realize, it's probably too late. And it's probably my ride again that's stopping me from apologizing even though I feel bad for what I said.

y'all have a heart of gold. sorry it took me too much time to reply, i was overwhelmed! ☺ u guys don't know how this means to me. always always remember that we are all wonderfully made! 💗

@voxhere, aww, that's true no one should ever invalidate one's feelings & thank you for making me feel that. i appreciate how strong you are after the stuff you've been thru. i admire how you took all those setbacks, stood up and had the greatest comeback! well, in my case i made it as a challenge for me before (in academics tho) & proud that i actually achieved something out of making it as a motivation. i'll try my best not to get affected again or to at least move past everything they might say. you too, guard your heart! 💛💛

@kungfupanda, true! that's why even after that, i still reminded myself to not stop doing things i love or makes me fulfilled. i hope you continue doing so! 🤗

@silence, thank you so so so much. i feel better now that i see people could relate to my emotions. i thought i was alone. i'll be keeping my head up, even in worst moments! 🧡

I don't think you are too sensitive. Your emotions are valid and they are yours to feel. And your story is perfectly understandable. Certain times we can't avoid these people but we can avoid letting their words and action ruin our lives My parents are perfect examples. They say and do things when they are mad. They tell you all the bad they think you have done to them and make fun of your intellect and compare you with someone who is not even perfect. They say things like "you lack common sense", "you're an idiot", "look at your age mates, they don't behave the way you behave". Domestic violence and child abuse is a normal thing where I live. And way back in school classmates would make fun of my appearance. This made me so self-aware about everything and that affected my confidence. Up until now I still think I'm intellectually disabled or maybe it's just my insecurities because the things I have done to myself in the past and the opportunity I have missed makes me feel like a stupid person. But I have grown up. Deep inside I feel both hatred and appreciation towards my parents and siblings. They taught me a lot, taught me how to be strong. Even though it doesn't make sense I kinda gained a lot from them Now I don't care about what they say, think and feel towards me because they don't matter and only a blind and foolish person would say something without really thinking about the impact it might have on the other person. It's funny they claim to be wise but they are not All I can say is try not to let it get into your head. And yes we can't change them. But we can take their negative derogatory energy and made it positive and that's what matters. Stay safe :heart:

Me too. I feel so related. But recently i have learbt that, if i really think about it. What people think about me or tell me or about something i do or make has NO real significance. Its mere an idea in their head and that doesnt mean anything.

<3 hey haze - try not to take those comments to heart. Easier said than done, but if others are trying to knock you down, keep your head up and keep trying to reach your goals. I related with this post more than you may know.
