I don't care!
I love it!
Remember that line from the song by Icona Pop? I'm sure I am not the only one who kept repeating those words over and over again. So catchy!
Well, it just says a lot about how I felt sometimes. You know that moment you wished you are so darn insensitive and don't give a tiny bit of care about whatever results your actions may brought you. The 'living in the moment'and 'just go with it' attitudes. I bet that is so much fun! It may be risky of course, but should we care that much? In life, we really need to take some risks, the odds will never always be in our favor. The things we want aren't served to us straightaway simply because you have to earn it, and sometimes you earn it the hard way. So if we will never be brave enough and would rather choose the safe yet boring option then it's like you have never lived at all (not being harsh, but it's true!).
If there's one thing I learned early in life is that in order to cope up in a society with conflicting interest and people, you have to appear as tough as you can, always brave face on! Do not wear that heart on your sleeve all the time. If you let all your emotions show, you can never avoid people who will take advantage of your weakness. Just when you are feeling down, it will be easier for them to make you feel even worse. This is not plain theory, this is truth I proved out of experience. And now, I knew better.. I can somewhat conceal my weakness and fake a front. I want them to only see the strong and fierce version of me. I want to be the master of my emotions. I don't want to walk around and get all too consumed by the words people are throwing at me. There are times that this kind of attitude helps, but of course sometimes it just made situations worse. When you get too reserved, people don't realize what you actually feel. Say for example, deep inside you are jumping in joy and appreciation but it doesn't show, so what happens is that people will see as if you felt the opposite.
I know that we are capable of voicing out our opinions. It is a right given to all. Sometimes we can't avoid being hurt or affected by whatever people are saying about us, because it was way out of the line already. Humans are not rocks.. we do have emotions. So being hurt is just a normal reaction. But at the end of the day, we can never point the blame towards those people. It will always be about us. How we cope about the situation and how you managed to just go on and ignore the opinions of others.
It will always be liberating when you can act freely, you can do whatever you want and you do not pay a single attention to what others may think and say. This is your life, not theirs! The time you spent bothering about others should rather be spent seizing every moment. It boils down to a positive mindset and thinking clearly about what your goal is. Be focused and aim for what you really want, there might be hindrances so be courageous enough to face 'em all. Again, this is your life, your battle, your journey, and your story so love every single bit of it!
