Waking up to sahur this morning was quite depressing. It was not because of not enough sleep, it was not because of the food, it was not because of the humidity but because my motivation has lost yesterday since I was a video call with my supervisor.
I admitted that as a student, you had to accept your teacher’s suggestions and advice, but if the points of comparing me with others, it broke my heart. It’s like you can’t change me. You can’t try to make it into someone you worked before. It’s me.
I’m not her. I’m not you. I’m me. It’s me. That’s all.
Writing this, so that someday, I will read this again, and try not to compare others. Writing this, so that someday, I will embrace others as it is. Writing this, so that someday I will not try to change others fitting my pretenses, but admit her weakness, uniqueness, and of course strength. Writing this, to remind anyone who reads this will not make the same mistakes. Writing this, to let you and me know that you do not know what others are struggling in their life. Writing this, to let you and me know that you do not what others are facing in their life in order to be able to stand up today.
So please, next time, whenever you are meeting someone, whenever you are conversing with someone, whenever you are criticizing someone, try and just try hard to compose the best sentence you can make out of your speech. Because the moment they take your word, the moment they capture your comment, it may break their heart, it may make emotionally unstable and it even can make their life become miserable.
If you believe that by filtering your word, it will make someone weaker and less strong, it depends on you. That’s what you think. I can’t change the way you think. But I hope you may consider that sometimes your word may cost more than gold and sometimes your word may cost nothing. If you think, you are prepared by the consequences and ready to be responsible for it then you are good to go.
After all, this is just my thought after considering what happened yesterday.
