Aftermath 2

Ahh...

Drinking, crying, heartbreaks, hangovers, crushes, backstabbing and drama. It must be New Years.

Sorry for the absence, I've had my mind on so many things, this blog just slipped my mind.

However I promise that this post will be a long and good read...so you might wanna print this and take it to the toilet with you. A good read.


Where do we start?

New Years was good. I had plenty of fun. And all in all, it was a success. Even though there were some unfortunate incidents, the fact remains, New Years was good. Because there is no perfect way to have fun. Every single time, that a person feels completely successful, another one feels a complete failure.

It's all bout balance. The Yin and the Yang. Up and down.


One of my most favourite quotes, which I think many people at least in their younger age would learn a lot from, is this "Don't get too attached to anything. Because when you do, it will feel a lot worse when you loose it. Eventually you will. Nothing lasts forever."

Theres plenty to learn from that. Of course this doesnt mean that you shouldnt get attached to anything. Sometimes you have to. You have to create bonds with people and things. But if you tie that too hard, and become too dependent on it, loosing it will feel like hell. And thats an unnecessary feeling.

I admire those people who go through life, making themselves happy, who do things maybe doesnt benefit others, but themselves more. It's not a bad thing to care about yourself more than others. We are all humans, and we all need to feed our ego. It's just the amount thats different. Some people need more, some less.

But think about this, if you can't take care of yourself, can you really take care of anyone else?

No. Probably not. This is why I think most people are depressed, sad, suicidal and just generally dont feel good about themselves. Because they take too little care of themselves.

If you would, once every day, do two or three things that make YOU happy, and no one else, I promise that it will make your life better and easier.

Helping others isnt a bad thing either. However, if you're not in good shape yourself, helping someone else might do more bad, than good.

Lets say you're in need of help. Whether its physically or mentally. You need someone. Maybe even someone just to talk to. Who would be better to talk to?
Someone who has their life in order, knows how to take care of themselve, someone who knows how to be happy? Or someone who's life is NOT in order, who worries about things, who cares about everyone else except themeselve.

I'd rather have that person who's happy and takes care of himlsef/herself. Because that person knows, if anyone, how to make YOU happy. Or atleast point you in the right direction.



So let this be a lesson for all of you out there who feel unhappy. You can't start the year 2008 more better than this.

Take care of yourself. Do things that make YOU happy. Try to think where you want to be in life. If you worry about others too much, you can easily forget about yourself.

Have patience. When things happen, that are out of your control, try to not worry about that. Because worrying about things that are out of our control, is just unnecessary. Why do that? If you cant affect anything, then why bother?

Time heals all wounds. Be patient, wait, and you'll see that things eventually work out. One way or another.


Thats all from me today. I hope this has been a good read. I'll get back tomorrow with a Top 5 list, since monday and today were a little special.

Hope you all have had a very good New Years, and that you all have recovered from any hangovers or injuries you might have sustained.


Take care.
