Insecurities
nowplaying: We Own It - Wiz Khalifa feat 2 Chainz
"in·se·cu·ri·ty:
uncertainty or anxiety about oneself; lack of confidence."
Everyone has their insecurities.
I have mine too.
Nobody is perfect.
I'm short, he's super tall, she's fat,
and the lists goes on and on.
But what one lacks in physical, is covered up with another aspect.
Some covers it up with having a good career; climbing up the corporate ladder to show that they are greater than the other.
Some covers it up with buying lots and lots of designer goods; because Gucci and Prada looks so good on almost everyone.
Others by eating their stomachs out; while others drink their sorrows away.
NOBODY IS PERFECT.
And it doesn't help that everyone has every form of social media.
You name it, we all got it.
Facebook, Instagram, Wechat, Twitter.
List goes on and on.
Everyone can be judgmental.
Don't deny it.
Even if you said you're not judgmental, at one point or another,
you can't help but to judge the other person.
Why?
It's all because of insecurities.
Sometimes, we can't help it but to judge.
And we judge based on what a person posted on their social media.
If only one stops and think;
people choose what they want to post.
If they feel that by posting about jet setting here and there makes them happy,
of course they will post pictures of them going to London, Paris, New York and Tokyo.
If they feel that by posting about them hitting the club every now and then makes them happy,
you will see that their posts are all about hitting the new clubs and bars in town every now and then.
If they feel that they love food,
they will post about their gastronomical indulgence.
You will see posts about steaks and ribs, pizzas and salads on their feed.
Do you think that they will post about what makes them sad?
Do you even know what goes behind the scenes of their Instagram?
*not gonna use Facebook as example because Facebook is just too polluted with so many things I don't even know where to begin*
Insecurity is indeed an ugly thing.
If only one stops and think about it.
There are times that I wish life is much simpler like back then.
Where love letters are handwritten,
where people get to know about each other by asking each other;
and not through just scrolling their Instagram or Twitter feed.
But I can't have it that way, can't I?
However, shutting people (or potential friends) is not an option too.
Just because of what they post on their Instagram is making your insecurities shows,
you shooed them away from their life before even they want to turn the doorknobs to enter your life.
You may never know that they can complete you in whatever you're lacking,
and you can complete them in whatever that they are lacking in life.
What sorcery is it, that you said to others,
"GO OUT FROM YOUR COMFORT ZONE"
and yet when someone tries to know you, to slowly put up the Great Wall of China that you build around your heart,
you shooed them away?
I can go on and on about this,
but I'm afraid that if I do,
I might upset others about what is in my mind.
All I want to say is that,
if we simply let our insecurities get the best of us,
we will never go far in life.
One can have success in one part of their life,
but in the other part of their life, something is missing.
Learn to embrace other people's imperfection,
because sometimes, there's a beauty in disguise behind the imperfection.
Just because something looks perfect in your eyes,
doesn't mean it's smooth sailing for the other person.
Insecurities will always be a part in someone's life,
but if we learn to accept the imperfections in our life,
if we learn to love ourselves even more,
if we learn to appreciate our lives even more,
be in touch with our spiritual life,
EVERY ONE WILL BE A HAPPIER PERSON, AND THERE WILL BE LESS HATRED OR
PASSING JUDGMENTS IN THIS WORLD.
