In my young age I judged people way too quickly, If i did not like you, I am not conversing with you. Second chance ? Yeh forget that.. I thought I was tough and did not need anyone, Only to realize I was nothing but scared of opening up and petrified of how other people viewed me and maybe judged me. I did not carry myself in the most elegant ways, because I did not know how to. Food was my comfort and maybe my only friend at times too. It sounds funny when I even write that but its true. In my old age i realize what it meant to be judged and how I had to probably work more around myself to change some peoples perception. For example when i am nervous i get super dumb and excited and will not stop talking and then when I am worried or something bugs me that smile will somehow vanish and then get mistaken for being a stuck up cow. When people see beauty, that gets defined to their own interpretation, when people see weakness they sometimes see vulnerability and when they see strength its deemed as feisty. This taught me to never ever judge anyone on first instance. At times, we have to wear that mask that shields us, to protect us. We can go deep into ourselves like the ocean or be lonely as the dessert. At times we have no control and we give into our emotions, but we are told we are not defined by our emotions. We are told to forgive and let go, the problem strikes when we have never been taught how to do so. So I have learnt to listen quickly, speak slowly and be careful of the words I use not just with strangers but with myself too... I have also learnt not everyone needs to like me or love me. I need those who dislike me too, because in essence you show me just how far i have come to let go of my fear of other peoples opinion about who I am and what I do. We dont all need to be puppets of this society :o)
