Let Go


If you ever felt like the world is ending, it's not ending, these are just obstacles that you're facing for a certain amount of period, and eventually, you'll face them head-on and succeed. These obstacles don't define your life nor does it end there. They are training you for the obstacles in the future that can be more challenging than the obstacles you face now. Your life is just starting. Never let these obstacles define your worth or achievements.
Let go of all the negative thoughts because it's always good to have a positive mindset about everything since one negative thinking can blind you from the picture.
Let go of all the emotions that've been built up and slowly release those emotions to someone you trust the most that will listen to your problems with an open ear and mind.
Let go of all the toxic people in your life because toxic people aren't worth the time or energy nor worth the stress. It's also good to have people in your life that genuinely care about you.
Let go of the saying "I'm not worth it' because you're definitely worth it and never feel like you aren't because there are many people that will say you are worth it. In life, we go through a lot of obstacles that can hurt us physically, mentally, and emotionally but we just have to move on from them and try to live our lives the way we want. Life doesn't always go as planned but that's the way of life and we can only do so much on our own. Even though life is hard at times, we can still rely on our friends because they are the best support system you can ask for and would have your back no matter what the situation is.

Truth 2.0




They say that the "truth would set you free," but does it really set you free? Something that you've been hiding from an individual for a long period of time and when you finally start telling the truth to that individual, it finally makes you relieved or free from it. You can finally start to breathe again because telling the truth to that individual has taken the weights off of your shoulders and being able to move on in life without feeling stressed out. However, in reality the truth doesn't always set you free because there's always a sense of guilt for not telling that individual what's going on right away. This would lead to an unwanted argument about why that person didn't tell them the truth in the beginning and will eventually lead up to a loss of friendship and a little bit of communication.

In my opinion, I believe that the telling the truth is always a good thing because when you tell the truth that you've been bottling up for so long, it can be a sense of relief and the pressure that was on you is no longer there and you can finally start to breathe again. It feels like you can finally start living again once you tell the truth because you're able to focus on yourself without hiding anything from others. Despite all the pros of telling the truth, there are also some cons in telling the truth which is that people deceive others on purpose to get out of something they don't want to do and they would say they enjoy doing it even though they really don't. Another con of telling the truth is that it's a possibility that your friend would talk to you less because they heard the truth from someone they trusted the most and would rather prefer hearing the truth from someone they didn't know. It has been programmed in our minds that we should always tell the truth because it's always the right thing to do even if the truth hurts. Although, sometimes telling the truth can backfire because the individual's feelings would be hurt which is a consequence of being honest and it's something that's out of your control. Rumors are spread quickly like a forest fire because a lot of individuals are mainly on social media and they are able to spread the rumor through different platforms without even thinking about who it affects the most. However, this has been part of a norm in this generation because spreading lies is a way to become famous even though it can hurt the person they're spreading rumors about. A lot of individuals to believe everything they read online because they love the entertainment of someone getting bullied or victimized, and many of these individuals are followers instead of being a leader since they would spread that rumor just like the rest of these individuals. Once the victim knows about the rumors being spread online, the victim would tell the truth to all the people in the world, but there's no hope of telling the truth because a lot of individuals in this world are fixated to one side fo a story without even knowing about the other side of the story. It's hopeless for people to tell the truth when their voice can't be heard because the majority of these individuals are fixated to one side of the story and they believe that this one side of a story is all the evidence. An individual who has a desire of learning the truth should be willing to learn and listen to both sides of the story before making a decision without feeling biased towards someone they know over someone they don't know. Even if they learn both sides of the story, it's a known fact that a friend would lean towards their friend more because of their friendship they have but sometimes you can't always rely on friendship to learn the truth. It's important to learn the other person's story before you make any rash decisions because the truth can slip away if you never gave that person a chance to talk or prove their innocence.

In conclusion, most people don't tell the truth because they're afraid of losing someone that's close to them and wouldn't know what to do in life without that person. Even the person you're closer to can also hide the truth from you in order to protect the friendship they've with you, but it hurts them in the long run. Another reason most people don't tell the truth because of their ego since they expect everything to go their way and they don't like the feeling of being wrong and have the mindset of being right even though they are wrong. They hold their pride more than anything in this world and can lose many friendships with that type of ego and personality. In life, it's always good to tell the truth because it'll definitely set you free from all the stress that has been built up and the weight of it can be off your shoulders, even though the truth can make the other person angry, just tell yourself that you finally told the truth when no one would.

Words

First, my inspiration to write this because I personally believed that words are powerful and can speak louder than action in some scenarios and I also believe that words can also stick with people that can be passed down from generation to generation while action can be a one-time thing that can vanish in thin air once it's completed. In society, they say our voice is powerful yet we're afraid to use our words to defend ourselves because of the thought of being made fun of or afraid of expressing how we feel about a certain topic. With words, you're able to express how you feel and be able to make an impact on someone's life but we can't make an impact if we stay behind people and let them do the talking for you. An individual should stand their ground and use their words to voice what they want to say with full confidence.

       In life, there are many words that are being used and said but these words can sometimes show a different meaning just by turning one sentence into something that's cruel or unjust. It's frustrating that people in our society can manipulate these words can turn someone into a perpetrator while they play as a victim, which is unfair. It's unfair because these people who manipulate the meaning of the sentence can get away with it and can leave that person powerless and turning into a person he's not. Words can change a nice, kind-hearted person into a cold, bitter person just by a few words that were said about him/her. It can change the way they do certain things and cause them to treat others poorly because of those words that were said to that person. Why do we still live in a society where people still negatively bring each other down and use hurtful language when they don't know the life they're going through right now. Words are very powerful because they can stick to you like glue and those words can be remembered for a long period of time since those words have a deeper meaning behind it. However, even though words are powerful, people can use these words to deceive you because sometimes an individual is using their words to blind you from the truth and brainwashing you into thinking that he/she is a great person, but in reality they're manipulating how you think. It's definitely hard to use our words in certain situations because nowadays it seems that everyone is ready to fight one another because it seems that each individual is a threat due to the color of their skin and it has become programmed in their minds that communication is lost somewhere waiting for it to be found again. What has happened in our society that made it hard for individuals to use their words to communicate without involving fighting one another or causing unwanted violence that can be troublesome?
     In conclusion, I believe that words speak louder than action in some scenarios because if a person that's important in your life is having a bad day, you can cheer them up by using words to make them feel better or you can use your words to show how important they are to you. In life, be careful of the words you choose and speak to one another because everyone goes through their own problems in life and it's not helpful to use words that can hurt them physically, emotionally, and mentally. It's important that we use our words to bring each other up and live in a world where positivity still exists, but instead, we live in a world where there's a lot of negativity because people are still using hurtful words to bring each other down especially through social media. 

Words can kill a person with just a few sentences so please be careful of the words you choose in life because one sentence can either change you for the better or change you for the worse.
                                    Your life your choice just be ready for the consequences.
