I Belong!

Everyone always has a say on everything. You can’t please everybody, so they say. I find it difficult for me to please everybody. I don’t even try, to say the least. It makes me wonder when people say I changed. It makes me think, did I really change or did I just stop doing the things they want me to? No, really… It makes me really wonder. It happens most of the time… to anyone.. to everyone.. Sometimes you just feel it’s hard to be happy when others expect something else from what you want for yourself. But really.. Does that really matter? Or do you just have to stand up for what you think is right for you? Cuz at the end of the day, it’s still your life, not theirs. So why waste a lot of time trying to reach just everybody’s expectations when you don’t have to?

Well, yes, we all need to have that sense of belongingness at some point. I don’t know with you but I’d rather be alone than be with the wrong people. Call me anything but I stand firm on this. Who wants to be with people you need to pretend to be someone else with? I’d rather have one great friend who scolds me when I’m bad than a so-called "best friend" who seems to agree with everything I say for reasons I don’t know. Where’s the best in that??

People always say best friends are the best enemies one can have. True. Cuz best friends, more often than not, agree on close to everything they say, share almost the same thoughts, and try so so hard not to fight to the point of not being normal. True friends on the other hand, argue a lot yet still agree on more important things. At the end of the day, they agree to disagree and respect the differences. A true friend does not hesitate to slap you when you need to be slapped. I’d appreciate a good slap when I need it. Even when I know I don’t need it.

It’s good to be with people who tell you the truth even when it hurts. Cuz only then will you learn life’s lessons. It’s good to be with people with whom you won’t even care even if your hair is super messy. Cuz only then will you know they don’t care about how you look like either. It’s good to be with people you can laugh with — laugh at yourself, laugh at them, laugh at anything! It’s good to be with people who don’t care if you’re not pleasant all the time — they don’t like you for being pleasant. They like you for being YOU.

It’s good to know I have these people to be with. This is for you. For accepting me even when I am not super good. For not hating me although I am not pleasant all the time. For telling me what I need to know even when I don’t need it. For laughing with me. And for arguing with me when it counts — and even when it doesn’t.
