Sometimes, you'll have to let go of your pride in order to feel better. Sometimes, you just have to be the one to take the first step or else somethings will go misunderstood and things changes without you wanting it to. Sometimes, you just have to be the one to do it 'cause you know that by giving in, it will make you feel better. It will make the relationship stronger.
Human relationship is the most complicated thing in the world. It's not meant to be understood 'cause somethings just happen and you don't know why but it just happens. But there are always reasons why it happens, even if we may not know it yet. Everything happens for a reason, good or bad. Nothing happens out of the blue. Life is just that complicated.
But you know, what makes it great is that you won't give up in life. That at the end of the day, you are still living, you are still surviving. You continue to live. No matter how tired, how annoyed, how angry, how sad, how negative you feel, you just continue to live on because life is for living. At the end of the day, you are still alive. And that in itself is something to be thankful about.
Just look at the kids suffering from terminal illnesses. How much they want to live a longer life but they know they can't. How strong they are even though they are not even sure if they can make it through another day. How they wish that they have a longer life to live. How much they envy us. Treasure your life because some people are actually envious of the fact that you are still alive.
Sometimes, I really think I give in too easily. I can never stay angry at people for a long time. But I believe that's a good thing. Or at least, I do it at right amounts. Lol! Like I stay angry for a right period of time and suck up my pride when I think I should. Ok, I guess some stuffs may change ultimately of course. But it really feels better when you suck up your pride and be the first one to tackle whatever problem because you know that you rather have friendship over pride.
At the end of the day, pride really means nothing. So what if you have a strong pride if no one is around to know how prideful you are? Having pride and not having friends who you know you really want to hold on to. Having pride and not talking to your parents and siblings when you see them everyday. It's damn hard to stay angry at your parents and siblings 'cause it's super tiring. You see them everyday and you just know that somehow, you just can't stay angry with them forever. No matter how horrible they made you feel, you'll always forgive them. Because that's how family works. And to be true, I think that's how friendships should work too. Forgiveness and understanding.
Of course, I'm not saying you shd forgive them immediately. But don't hold on to the grudge for a long time 'cause it'll just make you unhappy. It'll make you feel more tired and really, holding grudges waste so much time when you can be happy instead.
You are wasting time being sad when you can make way better use of your time being happy. I'm not saying that we should always be happy 'cause that's just mad. No one can and shd be happy forever. It's not healthy. The right thing to do is that while being sad, you should know when is the limit and when you should start making yourself feel better. You can't always stay sad 'cause staying sad is way more tiring than staying happy. Ignoring is way more tiring than caring. Yes. Caring is tiring. It's freaking tiring but you know that some people are just worth caring. Even if they aren't, if you are tired of ignoring them, it shows that you actually rather care about them instead. If you don't feel anything then maybe they don't mean so much to you at all in the first place.
I have so many thoughts now and they are all over my head. Lol! Crying makes you tired. But crying is healthy for you too. You just let out everything aft you cry. Ok maybe not everything but a good cry really always helps. The problems may still be there. But by letting out, you won't feel so choked up.
When feelings get bottled up, when a problem remains unsolved and placed at a corner, hidden away, one day, it may just explode and it may be too late to salvage the problems then.
Yes sometimes, we need to walk away from the problem first. But don't run away from it and never go back. You know that by doing so, you won't ever be truly happy.
And be brave to open up to people. Tell them what you feel. Tell them what you are going through because really, hiding everything from people is just going to make things worse and you will feel suffocated. Sometimes, people really rather you share your problems than hiding them inside you. Don't feel that you are burdening your family or friends with your problems because they honestly don't mind. If they really care about you, they will want you to share your problems and happiness with them. Don't be scared to let them know you better. Trust I guess. That's important in any form of relationships.
Life, human relationship are really freaking complicated. But you know you need them. So don't give up on any. Sometimes, we just have to suck up our pride and be the first to make the move. Pride is really nothing as compared to what will come aft you suck up your pride. You can be the better person. The one who gives in first. But of course, stand up for yourself. Though we shd always try to forgive, don't forgive too easily. 'cause you may get hurt again. But it suck though 'cause sometimes I really forgive too easily. But I guess you just got to know where is the limit. If you know that you can really forgive, do it and don't just not forgive because of pride. You are really just wasting your own time doing so.
So yes. Pride really doesn't mean much. Lol. I typed until I fell asleep. Alright! I shall sleep early. Today was a long day. Haha! But I'm really glad I swear. Life may seem to suck sometimes you always remember that there are always people to share this sucky life with you.
I'm thankful I'm blessed I'm grateful I'm glad I'm contented. Let go off your pride. Dare to be thick skin. You really just got to be brave and be thick skin and be the one to give in first. Of course, everyone has a pride and it's hard to overcome that but sometimes we got to try in order to make things work, to make things easier.
Don't be lazy. Don't take the easy way out which is to give up and ignore the matter. It may be tiring to care so much. Of course it can get really tiring. But what's worse is letting things go because you are lazy and come to regret it later.
Human relationships are fragile but what makes it break is when people stop trying. When being busy becomes an excuse to how relationships break and fail. Yes, we are busy. But if we try, if we give it a shot, it's really not that hard. Trying is better than wondering. Don't leave any regrets when you know that something can be done to salvage it. If it doesn't, at least you know that you tried it. At least you tried.
Live life right and don't leave any room for regrets. A strong pride will only make you feel worse. And take care of your heart. It's heck of a fragile but you need your heart.
This year, this half a year hasn't been great. But I've learned so much from the many things that happened. I come to realise so many things and I guess all these things made me stronger and mature. So I guess though it sucks, but I'm thankful for everything that happened. There's so much thinking today that I'm really so drained and tired now. But I'm glad for all the talks and tears and laughters today.
I feel so drained suddenly. Lol! But it's good in a way. I want hugs suddenly. HAHA! Hugs are warm and comfortable. And it'll always make you feel better. =D
