Just a few years ago were the years of me growing up. Oh how fast. Now I'm 20. Not many guys would wanna share their thoughts with the public. I might be the game changer. ;) All I know is, I say things and express my feelings better when I write. At least people's comments would not be as direct as face to face comments that we usually get in real life.
Well, what can I say? I was born an introvert with a need to express myself. Blogs might be the only medium I can channel my feelings to. The best thing about it is I can feel better about myself after posting a blog post. Such irony! What I really hope is that those important people who visit my blog would be able to understand what I feel as well as what I write. Life is too short to keep it to yourself, at least for me. So, why not!
Tonight's blog post is about "Have you ever felt like...". It's just a way of me trying to overcome my feelings when they become bitter and negative. I hope you guys can find something beneficial from my words too. Sometimes, we all just need something to hold on to. We just don't realize that all the strong men could be the weakest in the blink of an eye. As a human being, I know for sure everyone is hiding inside their tough shell. Vulnerable and insecure. They don't really know their tough shell could destroy what's inside.
1. Have you ever felt misunderstood?
Yes I have. Countless of times. Most of the time, I was misunderstood for all the stupid reasons. To be frank, I have a hard time trying to explain myself when I was misunderstood. I have to deal with the hurt as well as defend myself. What a vulnerable way to solve the problem and better the situation! After a lot of trial and errors, I have found out that if people misunderstand you, you have every right to explain yourself to them so that they can understand your situation better. If they're still finding faults, they are trying to bring you down. The best thing to deal with people who are trying to bring you down is to shut up and prove them wrong, straight up!
2. Have you ever felt left behind?
Thanks to Cik Tin Solhi for being a "guest suggestor" behind this negative feeling that she claimed to be feeling a lot. Well who doesn't? I feel it all the time, especially when I had to say no to family reunions or hangouts with friends. What hurts the most is when these people post a lot of stuff up on the net, e.g. pictures and posed with such happiness embedded on their faces. So cruel. That's how you feel left behind. Let me tell you, it's easy to feel left behind. You need to know that God above has planned every single day of our lives. Sometimes, he isolated us from some crowds and some people for a reason. There's always a reason. Better things could happen. Don't feel sad because you missed something. Get over it and realize it's how God wanted it to be. ^_^
3. Have you ever felt rejected?
As a fresh junior designer with no qualification whatsoever, my job has been a bumpy ride for me in the last few months. The worst thing about my job is that it never runs out of REJECTIONS. Imagine designing a restaurant menu for days and ended up rejected. Imagine how it feels like when the client said, "The layout is too boring. Absolutely NO SELLING POINT," Yes, rejection can be tough. To be honest, all the rejections that I've received along with the hurtful comments have given me a lot of strength to continue and say WHATEVER when they keep on coming. The best thing about rejection is it teaches you how to do things more accurately and effectively the next time you do it. :)
So, yeah. Just a little something to fill in my blog. :) 3 things that I find very hard to deal with but then, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? Keep that in mind, Shafeeq. Keep that in mind.
