You dont have to change.

Ola my people!

First and foremost, I’d like to apologize for being AWOL and also for the late post. In my defense, it’s test week and things are hectic. But I should have posted this earlier. I guess contrary to the title, I have to change and stop procrastinating.

We have different types of personalities, behaviors and attitudes. Amongst those, we have people who are down to earth. Those who are naturally sweet and opt to find the positive things about a person or a particular situation, no matter how bad things may be (optimistic).

Say for example, we have a girl who falls in love with a gangster (I’m an incurable romantic so that’s the first thing that came to my mind). All the people in the town/village they both live in tell her how bad of an idea it is to be dating this gangster. They remind her of the bad things he does. But she will continue to see him despite the negativity because she chooses to see the good part of him.

Sometimes when you are like that, you are often taken advantage of because people think you are ‘soft’ or ‘easy’. When this happens, most tend to change and become different, optimist to pessimist.

Message for the day is, “You do not have to change who you are but grow up and change the people surrounding you. Even if you see the good in them, it is not a good idea to constantly be with people who force you to change from who you naturally are. Instead, seek for someone who will appreciate you. Yes, we do have those people, you just have not found them yet.”

Next post will be tomorrow morning right after my test. Until then, feel free to comment, let me know what you think.
