Being Somebody

Hey my faithful readers/bloggers, I know its been a month since I last blog-ed about travels on my so called "self-inflicted" travel blog. However, I am not going anywhere any time soon as I am back in my home town, rediscovering myself. I am planning on a solo day trip in my city soon when I do find the time and I promise I will blog about it.

Whilst is good to be back and assignment free, I am here sapping with my thoughts and thinking about who I really want to be and what my goal is for the coming semester. Stumbling upon a beautiful text on Facebook (refer picture posted), I decide to then type out this blog as a reminder to myself and to just share my thoughts.

We all live in a world where race, gender, money and power becomes an issue. Trust me it happens at anywhere and at any time even in schools, universities worst yet in the working world. Everybody wants to be on the good side of the so called "leader" in order to be somebody, others gather their own troop to form another so called "group". 

I question myself all the time when I find myself stuck in this situation. What would I do? Whose side would I be on? Would I go against my self morals just to be on someone's side or would I be my own self and not be part of any groups? What would have happened to me? Would I be an outcast, if not are these people just treating me nice because there isn't any faults to be found, YET? Then, when the fault is obvious, what happens next?

The real world is though, they say. So am I ready to face all these? Most people take advantages of another person just to be recognize/acknowledge and even just to be seen by another. Yet there are others who do things from the back, gets no credits out of it, keeps quite about it and most importantly doing it with a genuine heart without any intention at all. Cruel world isn't it? Then I ask myself again, would this front forward people be able to do anything at all without these people at the back? Who would I want to be? The person in front or the person at the back?

At the end of the night, after thinking about all of these, I decide that I would always choose to be the person at the back, who would do things genuinely because I love doing what I do and to do things with kindness because that is what my parents has taught me and what my religion teaches me everyday. People have choices of who they want to become and of who they are, regardless I cant change their choices but I can always show kindness, after all actions do speak louder than words. 

I make  mistakes, a lot of them, most of the time. Just like everyone else. Then again, at the end, its our choice to choose, either to learn from the mistakes and change or to learn about it, never change and repeats the same mistakes.

Being somebody isn't important,but being the best person one could be in the eyes of God is more than enough. The world seems to always tell us other wise, everyone is eager to be somebody and we cant deny it. I am far from being the best version of me. REALLY FAR but I am trying, really hard. Therefore, it is important to remind myself every morning that there are people out there waiting to see other being fall, don't be that person instead be the person who lifts another being up because feeling good about yourself inside makes a happier outside.

I am sorry if this post offended anyone but this is a reminder for myself, of who I want to be and what the world is to me, right at this moment. You may see the world differently than I do, but let us just all be the best version of us in achieving our dreams.
