What Time Is It?

there's always a place and a time for everything, but sometimes, lost in a space where everything else doesn't seem to exist, we lose track of it.

defining appropriateness would be difficult. i doubt we could ever point to an object which is suitable for every occasion. my lecturer once said, " a bride in a wedding gown would be perfect for a wedding, but imagine that same girl, in that same dress walking around at university. she would definitely be out of place." i know it's a weird example, why would a bride be in university, right? well, this was actually said in my people and organisations lecture, which to me is a very interesting subject, and i was hoping you would get my point. anyway, people act the way they are regardless of where they are. sometimes, they forget that what they are doing is somewhat selfish. by acting a certain way at a time and place which is really unsuitable, you hurt the feelings of others, and sometimes even yourself due to the misunderstanding which surfaces. have some empathy, put yourself in other's shoes. i never used to understand why my high school teachers always get angry, sometimes even storming out of class, when we make too much noise and don't pay attention. now i know why, now i understand. sometimes, you have to go through it to actually realise things.

there are still times when i don't understand why people are mad at me, or even annoyed at me. but i'm still learning, by having people tell me straight to my face, or actually going through it myself. it is definitely a slow process, but hey, it's better late than never, right?

This Is For You

we say a lot of things we don't really mean for various reasons. sometimes, because of the stress piling up inside our head, sometimes because of all the emotions building up inside our heart.

there are times when we say things to make ourselves feel better. be it because of something we've done to others or something others have done to us. or maybe just because in every one of us, there's a small part which will always feel insecure, inadequate, unloved. as we translate the things in our head into words, along the way, we hurt the people who have nothing to do with the situation we're in, or even, the things we're feeling. people who, in contrary, are always there to listen, to be our shoulder to cry on.

this entry goes out to all those people who've always been there for me, but whom i've hurt, albeit unintentionally. i say things that sometimes i regret straight away, but was never humble enough to admit. i guess sometimes, i am a bit egoistical, regardless of what i make myself believe. i'm sorry.

and thank you for staying with me.
