WHOA.

 before, it was so difficult for me to understand people, and i strived for their understanding as well, i used to please everybody and it sucks.... it really sucks, a lot... until a close friend of mine, Reiniell, told me...'tol, u cant please everybody'.. WHOA. it lingered in my head until now, i wont forget what he said, because it became a way for me to learn things that are unknown to me.. it made me learn that not everybody will like you for who and what you are.. and you have to understand and accept that, we can't live trying to win everybody else's approval.. its just poison to think of what people say everytime you do something...

 i can say that i have been maturing since then.. like others, i have gone through many conflicts and changes.. conflicts that hurt me in the past, i also have been insulted and and degraded, and it affected me a lot, but i have come to realize that living with these things will not do me any good, things that are rotten should not be remembered, becaus it will just ruin your life and happiness...

I admit, its really difficult to fully understand someone else's attitudes and personality, but we can at least put ourselves into their shoes, to somehow be in their places, in a way we can have a glimpse of what they are going through... being openminded and empathetic are one of the most important things i have learned in this life..

another thing is that, we should never be judgmental. if we see a person's bad attitude, we should not label it as his/herself, we dont really know what that person is all about, and we are misunderstanding others when we judge them easily, why dont we just observe and know them deeply.. besides, all of us have good and bad sides ..=))))
