♥Between who you are and who you could be/
(CLICK PLEASE)
Charmaine, 18.
I'm a lucid dreamer and I tend to overthink pretty often. I've my moments as well as moodswings. And I don't let my feelings surface no wonder, they said I'm stoic or indifferent.
Like many others, I've got a knack for chocolates, sunflowers and bright colours. I don't really believe in miracles yet, I believe in dreams. I believe that everyone has the potential achieve big in life. It's a matter of choice and sacrifices. I admire philosophers for their rational thinking and understanding considering the fact that philosophy is kind of in depth and difficult to fathom.
Lastly, I'm a HUGE FAN OF SUJU & maybe a little of SNSD. :D

Alright, I've finally decided to start blogging again. Since it's a whole new year (2012), I've deleted all my past entries and here I am, keen on renewing and reviving my life once again. It's like coming out of your shadow, pre-determined to start a new life and finally living your past behind. The past is a good and memorable place to visit. But I no longer want to live there anymore. Is that called moving on? Whatever it is, I'm never going to allow my shadow to hold me back and I should start learning how to embrace the present. That's what matters isn't it?
We seem to be going through a period of nostalgia, and everyone seems to think yesterday was better than today. I don't think it was, and I would advise you not to wait ten years before admitting today was great. If you're hung up on nostalgia, pretend today is yesterday and just go out and have one hell of a time. ~Art Buchwald
Isn't it amazing? How quotes like this never fails to inspire and motivate you? :) It's heart-fluttering and jeeezzzzz, I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy already. *peace sign
Moving on, I was browsing through tumblr and I happened to come across this quote and it triggered something in me.
"You know my name, not my story." Does this sound familiar to you?
Everyone has a secret they haven’t shared.
Everyone has a past no one’s heard about.
Everyone has talents that people don’t notice.
Everyone has weaknesses hidden inside.
Everyone has a story left untold, so never start judging someone thinking you know them back to front.
Because the truth is, you probably don’t.
In that case, why do people still bother to judge others if they are afraid of being judged by others themselves? Is it because they are secretly jealous of the other party? Or is it because their insecurities are eating them alive and they are doing these to cover up their insecurities? Is this all a masquerade?
Perhaps there are other undefinable reasons as well. No wonder, they say human beings are the most complicated creatures and it's all because we have too much of emotions and feelings.
Honestly, does judging others make people feel good or perhaps better about themselves? If so, isn't that a rather sly and selfish act? Why put others in your misery when you clearly don't want yourself to be put in others' misery as well? Or is it because those that are quick to point others as deviants to the norm tend to have their own skeletons on their closets so as to make others look away from them?
People view others the same way as they view themselves. They expect more from others in view of themselves. Is all of us a mirror image of ourselves? Is that why people judge? Because they see others in themselves? Afterall,
"It's what you don't know what you end up fearing the most."
Remind me again how much I used to hate this pretentious, judgmental, egoistic and pathetic world. It's not as if I'm okay with it now. It's just that I'm numb to such stuff and as time passes by, I've learnt how to cope and live with it. After all, it's not like I can do anything about it so why should I place my hatred on something that is not worth hating? Don't get me wrong, I'm not depressed or anything. I'm just stating a fact and voicing out my hidden thoughts.
I find it rather ironic that "It's the people who know the least about you that judge you the most." Come to think of it, it's stupid isn't it? How do you judge someone when you know so little about him/her? It's like learning how to produce processed honey when you merely know that little fact that honey comes from bees. So how do you start judging a person? By his/her appearance? Dressing style? The aura each individual gives off? Or by your own biased opinions?
After all, if people make biased judgments based on their own belief systems then this means that most of the time their judgment will be incorrect.
"Only you can judge you" That's a fact FULL STOP."
"Since their opinions don't matter, you shouldn't feel bad when people judge you. "Yes, I got to start screwing that into my head!!!!!
But you do know that everything is easier said than done. I'm forever and always contradicting myself. I know that. :(
How can I not bother about the way others view me? How can I act as if I don't give a damn about their opinions even though I know I'm not like what they said? Subconsciously, their opinions of you will remain at the back of your mind. After all, who don't want to receive genuine compliments from others? Everyone is pleasing each other just so to maintain their good self-image and leave a good impression on others isn't it? It's like boot licking others but it's in a good way.
No matter what, everyone including me should not take others' opinions of you seriously because your opinion of yourself is what defines your true personality. That's what matters. And yes, I know I should start screwing that into my head too.
