Some people are in such utter darkness that they will burn you just to see a light. Try not to take it personally.
Kamand Kojouri
For some reason, the lesson of “not taking everything personally” seems one of the hardest lesson I learn. I used to think that I’m not good enough, I am not smart enough, I am not ‘perfect’ enough. I often said in my head: how nice it would be to be some one else, living somewhere else, had another kind of life unlike my own life, and so on. All of this because I believe every comments and opinions of other people toward me.
When one said, you are so tall, such a weird girl, I believed it. Yeah… I’m weird. It didn’t occur to me that the person who said that is actually jealous with my height. When one said, you do nothing right, I believed it. I didn’t realize that the person is actually belittle me because he, himself is so insecure.
Do not taking any comments from others personally, most of them are actually nothing to do with us.
Cheers, may we always remember to be good to ourselves,
