The drama I don't miss

I see people bringing others down to bring themselves up

I read hateful comments left on others' blogs

I see people pretending to be something they're not

I read the funniest bullshit on gossip forums

I see poor girls pretending that they're ok, when they're not






....And then I realize how much I don't miss that drama I used to have (quite often) in my life.


Boy, am I glad I'm so over it.








I don't have to worry about someone else being better than me, as long as I know I'm the best I can be.

I don't have to worry about bitching around with "friends", since I've distanced myself from people I don't feel good around.

I don't have to worry about negative comments people make about me because they don't know me like I do.

I don't have to worry about people not liking me because I like myself.

I don't have to gossip about others, I leave others to do the gossiping about me.

I don't have to pretend that I am okay, when I feel down, I cry and cry.. and I get over it.





Above are some reasons I have for being happy with my life.



------------------------------



I do believe that everyone is beautiful in their own way.








But you know what's the best part out of all the drama I've been watching?


....Seeing not-so-beautiful people calling someone else ugly!






!!1111@@@ OMG! HAHAHA! Amuses me to no end.

I think they spend too much time pointing our others' flaws to actually notice their own.






I am thankful for the rather quiet and cosy, happy life I'm leading right now.


A small group of people in my life I hold very dear. I let others know what's going on by blogging it all out here for thousands to see, but I take comfort in the fact a lot of things are still personal.

Drawing a balance.

She was just a young girl.

Tired of her opinions not being heard. Tired of being quite invisible to others. Eager to see the world and all that it had in store.. not knowing what to expect.



And so, she started a blog.


Unknowingly, her blog became a platform.. and along with everything else, slowly she grew.. and started gaining new experiences, started meeting new people, started learning a lot of life lessons..

She stepped out of her shell, and into the world.





...But now this young girl has seen enough. Certainly not quite what she expected.

And she's more than happy to retreat back to her shell once more.









But now that I'm already on life's fast lane, I'm having trouble going against this current...


And who knows just where it will take me?
