Look around please !!

In today’s era, it’s hard to believe that good people exist or goodness exists. There are only bad people. People only laugh at you; people make fun of you. I hear these statements many times from our youngsters, although I am just 24, and hopefully, you can count me as one of the youngsters :p. I agree bad people exist, but good people too exist. We need to meet some bad people in life to meet good ones. Situations turn people into good or bad. I can give you my example.

 I am a person who trusts easily, expresses emotions a lot, loses people, cries, and then repeats. This is crazy to me. This time something big happened. I fought with my best friend and lost her. I just cried and deleted my social media accounts for a few days. Ok yeah yeah, new generation way. I was feeling lonely and alone and had so many emotions. Self-blame, self-doubt, a lot was going on. This time I am unable to repeat what I used to repeat. I am grateful to that person who taught me a lesson. I was dependent a lot. I have given the right to control my mind to someone else; that is the worst thing anyone can do with themselves.

Even in a relationship, try not to give the key of mind to your partner. Speak what you feel, don’t hide. Compromises are necessary for any relationship but not all the time. We fear losing that person, but trust me; it’s ok. So, I connected with my other good friends, and their unconditional love melted me. They are those people I don’t talk to daily, but they showed up, and I am grateful to them.

So, look around; good people exist. We make our perspective of everyone worse because of one experience or person. So, take it easy and give a chance to other people. Make new friends but don’t repeat the mistakes you made with the old ones. Life is beautiful too. Give it a chance. We all are humans; we are meant to change, just don’t be rigid. I have been very rigid just because I thought the change would hurt the other person, and at that time, remember when they changed, you also got hurt.

 Never lose yourself. If you are a kind person, stay kind; if you love to express, do express but stop when the other person does not value that. Keep smiling. Goodness is in you; goodness is around you; give it a chance. Don’t lose hope.

Keep smiling,

Thank you,
