Just my favourite quote of all times:
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages."
- William shakespeare
Sometimes it really irritates me how easily influenced I am by others, both actions and words. Though on the surface I may act like it doesn't matter or bother me much, deep down I always get affected pretty badly. I always end up lying in bed, feeling super sad silently, somehow "suffering" in silence, perhaps to what someone had said so casually. And I know that the person will never know or find out how badly it had affected me.
Despite being pretty much nonchalant and happy-go-lucky (or on the surface only), I've always had this side of me. Minor things, small gestures mean a lot and words often not thought carefully before being spoken tend to hurt. Being a typical girl, I usually tend to read too much into things Usually, more of actions and words. I wish I could apply this very detailed side of me to schoolwork but sadly, the world is not a wish-granting factory (Quoted, the fault in our stars, john green). It also occurred to me how people's words can have such a big influence on others, be it said casually or seriously. In fact, most of the time, we probably have no idea how our words had affected someone, most likely in a negative light. Its almost like how someone can casually say to a person "You're so fat!" probably jokingly and that girl ends up with an eating disorder three months down the road.
"You have to decide who you are and force the world to deal with you, not with its idea of you."
P.s. you know how I always say "Stay true to yourself" blah blah, well I gotta admit, its actually kind of bullshit. It is definitely a lot easier said than done living in this society. But owells, achievable!
