Know better now.

I've had yesterday till today to think things over, and i'm feeling better now.

There's this movie called "soul surfer", and this girl in the movie, the main character,

who has her arm bitten off a shark while surfing in an area she shouldn't have been surfing in, with her friends and her uncle.

After the accident, she was heart broken because she couldn't believe what had happened to her.

She tried putting on a strong front for the sake of her family, but that didn't work out too,

because eventually, things went wrong, not surprisingly.

Finally, she broke down in front of one of her church leaders, asking her, "Remember what you said about seeing things, mainly our problems, from other perspectives besides our own? Why did this happen? Why did this have to happen? How can this be God's plan for me?" She was crying by then.

And the church leader replied with tears in her eyes that she didn't know why this had happened to the girl. But she truly believed, deep down in her heart that something good would come out of the situation.

So you're probably wondering, why have i told you this story?

See, the point of the story isn't really what the church leader replied.

And by the way, the story above was true, and was really made into a movie.

In real life, the girl who went through the accident became a professional surfer, with one arm- against all odds.

The point is what the girl said, that its hard to see things from another perspective, especially bad things, when you are in the situation, and blinded by your own.

I realized that yesterday.

After thinking everything through, i've finally realized that because of seeing things from my own perspective, and being blinded to what was really the truth, i've made my own life miserable.

Whether be it in love or other areas, i think that honestly?

I should've stopped lying to myself and seeing things from my own perspective.

Because the moment i tried to look at things through another perspective, i felt much better and now i know what i want, which is not here yet, or has already gone.

Either way its a relief.

And as for areas in my life that aren't related to love, i will keep trying to improve myself, for the best.

Sometimes, the opinions of others may be hard to listen to and unpleasant, but for self-improvement, they are necessary.

So, thanks to the people who have given me their honest opinions.

Your opinions are valued(;

And i will keep improving, not "change", because i won't change who i am for anyone else, but i'll keep improving, in areas that require improvement.

Alright i'm off to eat breakfast!

Can't wait to watch "you are the apple of my eye" later:D
