Genuine

Recently, I've been thinking about life. I've just realised that I really like spending time alone because it allows me to think and reflect. Also, when I'm alone, there's no one there to influence me and try to change me. I also realised that I like to say the opposite of how I really feel not to lie to others but to convince myself that I want things to be that way.

I realised that to succeed, you have to sacrifice some things and sometimes, you just have to be selfish. This is why I always tell myself, put yourself above others because after all, it's every man for himself. However, I just can't do that.

Also,  this holiday allowed me to learn 2 new things about me or should I say that I'm finally willing to acknowledge these traits/flaws of mine. I'm competitive and I like to be acknowledged. I don't think it's necessary a shortcoming but it can be of one at times.

At this point of time, I still don't know what I want to do in the future (career) but I know I want to reach out to the fringes of the society, those that are neglected and also the underprivileged. I want to help more people out there. I realised that I really seek joy from helping others. I love it when others smile because of me.

For once, I want to stop rushing myself into things and I want myself to be really happy and contented with what I do. I'm not going to chase after a GPA 4.0 nor am I going to chase after trends so as to fit in. I'm just gonna chill and be myself. I'm just gonna be genuine and genuinely happy.

Remember this, you can be not the best in academics and appearance but ensure that you are an A plus when it comes to attitude. You don't have to shine and be the best. You can just be yourself and that's good enough. You are great, you deserve happiness and please, always be genuine and nice to others.
