bestfriends, confide-y, schemers, believers, dreamers, catchers, sisters.
Looking through magazines, seeing beautiful people on the internet, is simply not the same as seeing a beautiful person in real life. I was online searching for motivation, to do something, anything really. And found that although there are numerous wonderful, inspirational and idyllic people out there, it was not enough. Sometimes you find motivation in the people closest to you. Like your friends. I find that your friends, in some way or another help define who you are as a person. No matter how hard you resist, it is inevitable that some of their attributes rub off on you. Whether they be good or bad, is not entirely within your grasp. That’s why i find i enjoy being in the company of people who have skills ,goals and aspirations. These are the people that want to make something of themselves. Who want to build a future, a great one, to benefit themselves and to others. The few true friends I have found in this lifetime, hold true to this expectation. Because when you’re surrounded by people who have grand aspirations, i find that this is the best motivation as you aspire to be of their standard. It’s not a competition, its a choice. To be the best you can be. When you’re surrounded by people with high hopes and dreams, people with standards, you appeal to reach your own dreams and strive to conquer soaring heights and break through all limitations. It enables you to maintain your core values -which is essential- , and build on your own attributes. To be a better person. Cause there’s always room for improvement, it’s one of the many fantastically traversing aspects of being human. “Near ink there is darkness, near light there is shine”, Beings who want more to what they have, people who want change, to make a difference, those are people who i appreciate and respect. It’s not selfish it’s only natural. People who can take a step back and look at the bigger picture, view both sides and at the same time, find&hold to their own interpretations and opinions. People with an optimistic, realistic outlook on life, who aspire to success and take action. Kind, friendly people who have golden hearts ♥
compliments; there are the ones you love to hear, the ones you hate and the ones you love to hate to hear.
I am a firm believer in compliments, they can lift a person’s day to amazing heights, they’re small words that are often overlooked. We live in a society that judges, that is completely artificial, -the orange juice i drank this morning was “99.9% reconstituted juice”, for goodness sake- the world we live in is so fake yet so unbelievably real. A few kind words, to a friend or even a stranger will most likely do very little, but there is a slim chance that it could do wonders. And because of that chance, because that there is a chance some great good could come from something, that takes very little time, and effort, why not,take the time to brighten someone’s day, if only just for a moment (:
Its just a nice gesture.
Sighhh* but then I am a girl and me, being me am very contradictive. For people of know me, whether that be well or not, you will find that i tend to compliment myself, on a regular basis, :D - nothing wrong with that - But when i do compliment myself, when talking to someone else, especially gentlemen, i find it rather off putting when i receive an agree-a-tive response. -yes i just made up a word (: -
For example; C; I am just simply amazing
boy; yeah you are
Me.. * … okay. awkward*, i admit sometimes it is.. mm okay.. but most of the time i find it annoying. I want a witty, quirky, almost negative response. Maybe im weird that way. But i enjoy witty banter more than compliments. I find people who compliment me.. idk not right. Especially if ive been complimenting myself.
Then there are those people.. who compliment to receive compliments. It is even more irritating because most of the time, you know that they’re reeling for compliments. I use to be kinder, i suppose and return the gesture, now i find that i dont. Simply because i’m mean and cannot be bothered returning the gesture, if i dont “feel” it.
I think the most irritating are the people who cannot accept compliments. Firstly, yes, okay, maybe you do not truly believe the compliment or feel a certain way about a certain aspect. But i’ve found most people do this just to be given reassurance.It is even more aggravating when the compliment is thrown back at you “No you are, i’m not what are you talking about, you are, no you..” Just take the damn compliment. Or if they begin to say negative things about themselves, “I’m ugly.. rararara”
…
stop. just stop. If i had wanted to insult you, i would have. period. Once a long time ago, i saw this girl, let’s call her Helen -sorry to all the Helens out there, im sure you’re lovely people- comment on her own photo in a very public place, a social networking site, after many wonderful people had taken the time to compliment her, retort, “no im ugly, call me ugly”, she put up this whole big fuss&fight about it. So; One. Obviously you did not think the photo was ugly, as you posted it for practically the world to see. Two; just take the compliment or dont say anything at all. So… i was pretty fed up so i commented; fine, you’re ugly. Surprise surprise no reply. And i’m the bitch for complying with her demands.
On another note, some beings, tend to compliment me, and compare my style and look per say to Blair Waldorf. And i feel honoured to be compared to such a lovely, not to mention beautiful character. However, some beings tend to forget that’s what she is a character, a fictional character. I know they don’t do this on purpose, but i feel the need to remind beings that, that is what Blair is. Sometimes when one says “You look like Blair Waldorf”, “You are so Blair”, i feel like screaming; Blair Waldorf is a fictional character, i am not like Blair Waldorf. She is like me. Blair Waldorf, has her outfits carefully slected for her days, weeks i presume before hand. Her hair and make-up are done to an impeccable, level of perfection by the many skilled professionals hired to do so. I know this sounds ever so neurotic but tis how i feel, sometimes, not all the time.
The moral of my little rant is next time somebody gives you a compliment from sweet little heart, please, smile, and say thank-you. That really is all it takes.
- smile + thank-you
Compliments are wonderful, simple things. Appreciate them, accept them. I know i do (:
