hello.. this is a completely random post, but i feel like its something i need to get off of my chest. I was just sitting here scrolling through social media and it seemed like more than usual i kept seeing people talk about how they "had no emotions" or "don't trust anybody" and other things along those lines. I'm really curious as to when being a "heartless arrogant person" became the cool thing. Since when did being honest and vulnerable about your emotions, being humble, having compassion and empathy for strangers or even people you know, become known as being weak, unattractive, and a push over. You can most definitely be a genuinely nice person with a compassionate and humble heart AND not let people walk all over you. There's a nice way to do everything.. yes.. EVERYTHING. If everyone in this world only cared and looked out for themselves and their "chosen ones" and had a cold shoulder to everyone else, how crappy and sad would this world be ?! There's nothing more freeing than truly being honest with yourself and everyone around you about your feelings. I don't care how many times people say "i don’t care or i don’t have any emotions".. thats a lie. They can try to convince themselves they don't care but i can promise 99.9% of the time it's a front. And one day they will not be able to convince themselves of their "non existent emotions" anymore. We were created to love one another and bring people up, not cut people down and be so self absorbed. That's not our purpose of being in this world, to create negativity and only care about ourselves. To me, there's nothing more that makes me feel alive than emotions. All of them.. good and bad ! Happy, sad, excitement, hope, fear and every other emotion, it reminds us that we're still alive and not numb inside. Yes this world is very disappointing sometimes and no one but God knows why the bad things that happen, are happening. But if we just took all of the bad things and let it make us numb, what good are we contributing into the world ? We would be no better than the rest of the people putting negativity into the world. Instead take your experiences and help others. It's not easy, but I can promise you in the end it's more rewarding than closing up and becoming a bitter miserable lonely person. That's what the devil wants, that's why he does the things he does.. if we let him have his way the world would be so dark and depressed. No ones soul would be saved. Also, i'm not saying put yourself on the back burner, put your worth in other people or anything else like that. PLEASE love and take care of yourself too, but don't get so absorbed in yourself and forget why you were put on this Earth. People that are arrogant, prideful, and hateful will be knocked off of their pedestal one day, that's also a promise. Anyways, I feel like I've ranted enough.. bottom line is love yourself but don't forget about other people either, be a genuinely nice humble person, look out for others.. but stand up for what you believe in and don't let people walk all over you or make you feel as if your opinion doesn't count..it's all about balance. I'm not saying that I am perfect and walk around thinking everything is rainbows and butterflies all of the time or that I don't have those days that I think the world is a terrible place and there's nothing anyone can do to change it, because everyone has those days.. but then I snap out of it and realize how ridiculous I'm being. Go do something nice for a stranger today, hold a door open, buy the persons coffee behind you, whatever it is just put positivity into the world, it's so rewarding and will make your day a little brighter.
BE A LIGHT, BE AN ENCOURAGER, AND LOVE EACH OTHER !
Have a happy week and thanks for listening to me rant ;)
XOXO Maris
