negativism

Isn’t it ironic that the people who don’t like to be left out on things or on topics are the ones who, inadvertently, let other people feel the same?

I learned the hard way not to become attached to a group of people just because they were a part of the best days of your life.

Regardless of your effort to do well and be nice to others, you just can’t please everyone. It’s normal for people to set standards on how rightfully should people treat one another but some have set them unusually high. It’s acceptable for VIPs such as politicians, showbiz personalities, etc. But I’d never imagine I’d get to know someone of the same status as mine who act like they do. Not to the extremes, though, like Madame Gretchen. Siguro like a simple customer service matter. I know all of us, as customers, want the best service from those who are tasked to give it. But sometimes we can not avoid circumstances that unfortunately do not go in our favor (due to system error, human error, or simply just human nature). Small things that we can let pass and accept the apology of the erring party. Sure, you’ll be irritated but you don’t have to exert all your effort just to degrade the person you’re talking to, or to openly bad mouth them. Nobody is perfect and everyone is prone to make mistakes. Don’t act as if you’re the only person in the world who has the right to get mad and complain because you didn’t get what you expect, or you didn’t like what you saw, or someone made a remark at something which didn’t sound good to you.

...or maybe i am the only person who thinks this way... ako pala yung others.... oh well, hehe...

i like the second line. although some people try to be that conscious and tend to push the few good ones from the best time of their lives away. it's a pity, too much loss, perhaps. for there are people from that time that are worth keeping.

that's just for me, i guess. i dunno. i feel like i haven't had a talk with a friend friend in years. just shallow conversations, etcetera etcetera. maybe it's the quarter life kicking in, maybe it's true. i just don't know. i just kinda feel like bringing the old days back, the best times back. when you have friends who actually listen, eager to learn from each other and no standard of how righteous one could be (well, maybe meron pero hindi nagiging judgemental). i think i'm rambling. i dunno. i just feel like whenever i speak up, other people nod in agreement but obviously disagree. since when did my words start sounding like crap? hahaha:) too vague, sorry! basta.

i'll copy the first line from the third ha? sounds familiar e..hahaha:D

sabi ni chuck, sometimes the best way to deal with shit is to not hold yourself as such a precious little prize.
