Don’t Ever Change/Inferiority

Anaes

It’s like a common saying;
you know, the one your school mates put in your yearbook at the end of the year?
“Don’t ever change.”

Problem is that people do change;
change can be drastic,
or it can be slight.

Ever wondered what they meant?
No, it’s not, “don’t change your hair”…
…it’s not, “don’t change your style”.
It’s not even, “don’t change your address”.
No, what it means is, stay true to who you are…
“If you’re lucky enough to be different,
don’t ever change.”

Having quirks is a good thing;
that’s how personalities are born.
It is thru personalities that we are able to reach out,
and connect with those with similar to our own.

Don’t change who you are.
Don’t change for anyone.
Your size, height, hair color, skin color, sexual preferences…

Life in a Basket

“I Am Me: A Declaration of Self Esteem”
By Virginia Satir

In all the world, there is no one exactly like me.
There are persons who have some parts like me,
but no one adds up exactly like me.
Therefore everything that comes out of me is authentically mine
because I alone choose it.

I own everything about me…
my body, including everything it does;
my mind, including all its thoughts and ideas;
my eyes, including the images of all they behold;
my feelings, whatever they may be…
anger, joy, frustration, love, disappointment,excitement;
my mouth, and all the words that come out of it
polite, sweet or rough, correct or incorrect;
my voice, loud or soft;
and all my actions, whether they be to others or to myself.

I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears.
I own all my triumphs and successes,
all my failures and mistakes.

A Cup of Love

– I was looking for love for so long. I was trying hard to look for it. I had someone special to love once and I lost the one, and I thought I lost love. I thought I didn’t have love. I thought real love didn’t exist. I don’t have love. Love cannot find me. –

I was in pain for long time, since my love left me I thought I could not have such a love again any more. Because of this huge “heartbreak”, I put thick and tall walls around my heart. Even though it wasn’t so hard to let guys closer to me physically, I couldn’t let guys closer to my heart again. I could not see I was the one who built the wall at that time. So when I wanted to find love again, I tried hard to look for love outside. I tried to…
