the way you talk to others is the way you talk to yourself

I experienced the worst period of time in early 2023. The heartbreak, the ‘someone’s’ heartbreak, the ‘my best friend’ heartbreak and so many heartbreaking events happened at least twice in a month. I’m not even finished my 5 stages of grieving yet.

The ironic mainstream statement from the 20’s young adults is “I regret my wish to became an adult when I was a kid” “Grown-up is a trap” but they actually enjoy it.

Well, the more we grow the more we understand how the world is going. “Oh, it’s a cruel world,” they said. So it is.

So, I learned to be nice in this cruel world and not be a beast when I can’t be a beauty to the world. Hmm, being mediocre is not a problem at all, uh?

These days were my ‘self-awakening’ moment, no I’m not doing yoga. But I know that people out there sometimes use their power to hurt others and create heartbreaking events. Then I understand when you yelled at someone or embarrass someone, you actually projecting your insecurities into innocent rather than minding your feelings and negotiating with yourself.

The way you talk to others is the way you talk to yourself. When you are screaming mad at people, you might hold a grudge against yourself. And if you think you are winning when you embarrassed people, you might hide the guilt over yourself. — Well, I’m just saying, but do you agree with me?
