She changes her life.
Yesterday, after our movie date with my friend, I accompanied her to the salon. Prior to our date, she was already talking about cutting her hair. Her reason: donate it to cancer patients, very noble and very kind, bt a lie.
Why?
Because while in Mcdo, I probed her enough to make her confess that it was partly because she decided to move on (BIG WORD). "Move on from what?" I asked, "from him", saw this coming. We cn all agree tho, usually, especially with girls, the reason they move on are guys. She has this crush / workmate for a year now. Within that year, they've already been to dates, exchanged thousands of messages and even tried the HHWW (holding hands while walking), her first. Bt they are nt a couple, he's nt even courting her. Within that year, the guy never made a move on her, never actually gave their relationship a label, never said anything that could become a hint that he likes her. Or maybe he does, as a friend, a company or a travel buddy, bt never as a girlfriend.
While talking to her, I realized yet again that the things that I was telling her were the same deym words I too needed to hear. Girls tend to be like that, words are already enough, actions cn already satisfy, it doesn't work that way. Words should be reinforced by actions, and actions should be understood by words. Don't believe the old saying, "action speaks louder than words" it doesn't, nt now when there is already a big shift with the way people treat others.
Because of her circumstance, my boredom and well, fun, I've decided to make a list of the little things that I should do to change my life:
- Change your hairstyle- "why does it always have to be me?" says the hair, well, changing your hairstyle, esp chopping it off if it's long, literally and "illiterally" makes you feel light. Let go of those unnecessary emotions that's dragging you down!
- Revamp your wardrobe- the new you needs a new armor too! it doesn't have to be fully bt gradually, take the first step. Let go of that old self and embody the new and 2.0 version of you.
- Do new things- this one is a bit cliche' and I tell you it really is, bt it won't hurt to try. Find a new bt also relevant things to do, say, cooking, swimming or like most of my acquaintances, running.
- Learn a new attitude- THIS IS FUNNY. I've actually done this, it may sound hard, bt it's actually a lot easier when you try it. As for me, I tried learning to laugh at almost everything, and it doesn't really matter where I am or who I'm with.
- Talk to people- basically, talk, you don't need to talk about deep things, just let your mind play with words, let it speak, you will be amazed by your own thoughts, or scared (lol). If you're already talkative, then good!
- Go to events and places that interests you- by going to events, you will be able to meet different kinds of people with the same likes as you. learn from them, they sure cn offer varied things that you cn work on. Going to places cn spark inspirations and realizations. Travel.
- Say YES!- because opportunities sometimes knocks only once, by saying yes, you cn learn the things that you don't know, appreciate what you already do, and love what you don't. as what they say, you only live once!
- Refresh your playlist- I dunno why I added this, bt a lot of us do listen to music, and even if we don't admit it, we subconsciously feel the lyrics or the rhythm. Making us vulnerable to unwanted emotions, so!
- Capture every moment- like how you captured every possible angle for that selfie, also capture moments, a nice sunset? take your phone or if you have a camera with you, take a shot! regular bonding with friends, take a groupie, you sure will look back and laugh at your funny wacky faces that time ;)
- Enjoy everything. Fear is a LIAR- never question your capabilities, if you don't try, you will never know!
I'm no expert on this frankly speaking, we all have our ways of renewing ourselves! bt one thing's for sure, just be you, that's something nobody cn ever do!
