I think that the hardest thing in life is to be insecure. Insecurity sort of blocks everything that a person can do and achieve. It prevents one from striving and reaches his/her goal. I have a lot of insecurities but also confidence at the same time. I appear confident because I choose to be. Although, I know that if I let myself dwell in it, my insecurity will rob away my happiness and ability to have a peripheral vision. It will make me feel like a piece of useless no good trash.
As a human being, I am insecure about a lot of things. Most of all, I am insecure about my future. It is all a blur. I have gone through some major changes in my life and found out things that I never thought would have happened to me. But I also know that it is all a part of life and that many people feel the same.
I think that insecurity is good in a way because it lets you realize that you are not such a goddess after all. I realize that I am not a superior being with my many weaknesses and foolish acts. I think that it lets me to be humbler in a sense but however I also believe in overcoming my obstacles and change for the best. It also makes me realize that I need people and God in my life and that I need to appreciate, depend and treat them well. But I have to admit that I fail a lot of times because sometimes I take things for granted.
I know that many of my friends (maybe you) are feeling insecure about some areas in their lives. I will not call you weak. I will not call you a fool. I will not despise your insecurities because everyone is different and we all have our own strength and weakness. However, if I may say, please don’t dwell in your negative thoughts or the bleak future. I believe in the phrase that the sun will shine another day. Although I have to admit that there are times that I, myself, feel that I am so blue I don’t think I can see the colour of flowers anymore. But I am trying to walk in a straight line.
I am not a motivational speaker nor am I the wisest person in the whole world. But somehow, I do believe that everyone, despite his/her bad personality traits, has good qualities that can be found and sharpened. It is all about wisely balancing your yin and yang. We are not perfect after all.
I know that sometimes we dwell in our imperfections for a long time. We tend to think about the negative aspects in our lives but fail to notice that we are blessed in many ways. Maybe this doesn’t apply to you but I know that it applies to me. It is very close to home. But I also know that some of the people I know don’t realize what wonderful people they are. I think that each human is special in his/her own way.
I do believe that each one of my friends will turn out well. I believe in every one of them and I think that it is about time that I let you know that someone does believe in you. I do. Xoxoxo

My endless list of questions.. to be continued
If knowledge is power, I don't understand why the truth is often concealed.
If honesty is like gold, why do we find it hard to accept the truth and feel weak when we eventually find it?
If the truth sets you free, why does it sometimes imprison you instead?
Why can’t some questions be fully answered?
Why do we have standards? Do standards protect the ones who believe in them or the one being judged upon?
What is classified as ‘normal’?
Is there such thing as universal normality?
Whose standards do we use when we “take look at the mirror”? Are they the same standards that we use to judge other people?
How do you differentiate between someone who is different, unique, weird and abnormal?
If it is alright to be yourself, then why is it never enough just to be you?
If we all want world peace, why do we still dislike and curse other people?
Why do we have insecurities? Are we not confident enough or do we compare ourselves with other people too much?
Is it ever acceptable to be who you are or do you have to fulfill other people’s expectation of you?
If it is alright to be you, why can’t then you make everyone happy?
Can we truly love and accept ourselves as who we are?
If we have to change or modify things in order to like them more, does that mean we did not really like them at the first place?
If acceptance is the key to a great relationship, why do we still make negative comments and thoughts about those we care about?
If true friends worth more than gold, why do friendships end?
When exactly is it when they say, “until the end of time”?
How long does forever last? Is it infinite or is it definite?
Would you rather be satisfied or content?
Is good enough ever enough?
Why are we forever trying to find the perfect life or the perfect item, even?
If we don’t like being judged by others then why do we judge others?
What measurement do we use to define wisdom and maturity? Is it age, education, a heavy talk, education or a polished act?
If balance is the key to a happy life, why are we forever trying to achieve bigger things?
Are human beings ever going to be satisfied about any thing?
Why am I forever pondering about things?

Sherlock Holmes
I am not……
Hoping for anything
Asking for much
Putting too much hope
Pretending to be content
Yearning for anything much anymore
*
I want to …
Respect reality
Uncover hidden agendas
Negotiate for a better circumstance
*
I feel like …
Carrying on
Risking everything
Yes-ing all expectations
Inviting myself to paradise
Noting all my blessings
Gaining my own wisdom and self respect again
*
I wish for …
Hope
Ordeals to be gone
Peace and serenity
Encouragement
*
I need someone to …
Say it is and will be alright
Accept the darker side
Viciously interrupt my thoughts
Echo the facts of things
Modify my thoughts
Embrace me in my negativity
