a piece of self-reflect.

Looking back, I realized there are many things I've said and done that I'm not particularly proud of. Mostly, I'd rely on people for support whenever I need their words of advice from a different perspective than mine because mine is sometimes right and sometimes imperfect. I thought seeking advice or reassurance from others would be better, but I guess all I want is an external validation of my own thoughts and emotions.

Not only that, but I realized that I have toxic traits as well, such as seeking validation from others, taking trivial things personally, comparing myself to others, self-sabotage, overthinking, insecurity, and being dramatic despite previously telling people that I disliked getting involved in dramas (ironic, isn't it?), and others.

This realization occurred to me as I was reflecting in my room. Those were my embarrassing moments, I have to admit. But I have to accept that those are the flaws that I need to work on to be a better me and avoid making the same mistakes as I did previously. Such things are supposed to be acknowledged, accepted, learned from, and grown from.

Does telling people your stories now matter to you? or more like, do people's opinions on your stories matter to you? or, to put it this way, does it matter to you?

This is a series of questions I frequently ask myself when I am tempted to talk to someone about any of my problems.

To me now, none of it matters, even when it comes to telling people my own stories. I now keep them all to myself. I'd prefer to keep everything private. For myself alone and for my own burden to bear. But when I really need a shoulder to lean on, I'd go to the best and most trusted friends I have.

And when I do have stories to tell, they will be stories that inspire people to keep going. The same stories would also humble me in some ways, that says 'all humans are just humans with flaws and imperfections that make us human.' Some people would also lose people in their path, but that's okay because people come and go, life goes on, and the world is a big place.

One must continue walking and thriving, and one might meet more new people along the way who share the same values and views as the new you because the newer version of you is not the same as you were back then. With the new people we meet, the viewpoint of our friendship will improve as you have improved yourself. And as you progress through life, so does your love life; your relationship with your loved one.

Life will not become stagnant anymore, but you will become more alive as you grow older and wiser, living through so many moments.

And you'll realize that none of it matters in life, but it only matters when you focus on yourself and the moments you share with your loved ones, such as family and friends; and also with a partner if you have one because they are the ones who light up your life the most.

So live life to the fullest, be selfish if you must in a good way, it's our life, and throw other people's opinions out the window. Remember, each one of us is amazing; also, remember to be yourself, hear yourself, and be proud of your own journey.

There may be some challenges along the way; however, stay strong, make wise decisions in a calm manner, and surrender everything to the universe to find yourself in a peaceful state.

I wish us all the best as we embark on our respective journeys.

(This is a piece of self-reflect and self-care inspiration for myself and anyone else who is looking for it).

During Tim's early days, the principal called Bruce once to report that Tim had a lot of bruises.

Bruce, pretty sure he knows where this is going: "Well there's a reasonable explanation for this--"

Tim, kind of sheepish: "It's from the Bo staff."

Bruce, turning fully on the chair to look at him.

Tim, fidgeting a little: "I've been practicing kind of a lot with it recently."

Bruce, suddenly incredibly proud: "Yes," turns back to the suspicious principal. "He insists on getting into these really niche extra curriculars. For college."

Principal, looking between them: "Bo staff? What is that, exactly?"

Tim: "I can show you if you like? Do you mind?"

The principal shrugs and Tim steps out, returning with a broom.

He does a one handed figure eight spin and wipes the Principal's mug right off the desk, causing it to shatter on the floor.

Tim: "Oh shit."

Bruce, speaking over the principal, standing up: "Excellent, just loosen your grip a little more."

Tim, rolling his eyes: "It's a pretty basic move B, and you know it--"

Bruce, excited that Tim's taken an interest: "Just the beginning, tonight we'll practice some real moves, build your repertoire in defense and offense--"

Tim, grinning: "I'd like that, I've also been working on--"

Principal, clearing her throat: "I think I've seen all I need to see."

My side of the story doesn't matter anymore. Life happened, I healed, but most importantly I learned who deserves a seat at my table and who will never sit at it again.
