Kill Them... With Kindness

Daily writing promptShare a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.View all responses Okay, hear me out. Some people tend to indulge in the fantasy of how they’re the superior human, regardless of bleeding the same blood as the person next to them. Society has labeled these people as narcissists, arrogant, and egotistical if I am thinking correctly. As we go through life, we will…

Liar Liar Pants On Fire Or How I Became a Cynical BiAaaatch

Why do you lie? 

How does it feel? I mean you lie to your friends, to your colleagues, Family, significant other... but why? does it make you feel smarter? Superior? What is it? In what universe lying had made you a SUPERIOR to others? Are you daft?! 

Well, I guess I should probably accept that We, the ppl who see right through the lies but do not confront you, are partially to blame. Lets' go through some examples of that.

EXHIBIT A 

My Ex- Let’s Call Him NICK-0, lied to me about the degree he was getting at uni. Let’s backtrack a bit, When we first met, he ASKED ME what was my Major and at that time I was getting my BS in mining engineering, and I told him so since I never thought it was a big deal anyways, I mean university degree does not define anyone, Right?? Anyways, He said he was getting BACHELOR OF SCIENCE in CIVIL Engineering, in X uni. I Actually didn’t think much of it, but one of my friends ( she’s a nosy bitch, but I love her) started researching and later told me at X university there was the only DIPLOMA in Civil engineering and if he is, in fact, studying there, he’s probably getting a diploma. Again, the stupid trusting girl that I was, I defended him and told her she's wrong. But to clear my mind I asked him, and he got angry and took offense that I did not trust him. I was reprimanded, felt Like shit, and tried to make it up to him. Fast forward a year or so, We were at some store I honestly can't remember what was it but he told me to get his wallet and give him some cash from it. I opened the wallet and Lo and behold there was hid Student ID clearly stating he was a Diploma student. I was shocked, I mean I defended the jerk, I believed him only to find out he was a bloody liar. SO I confronted him then and there and he was sooooooooo angry saying " I TOLD YOU I WAS GETTING MY DIPLOMA" I was like WHAT THE FUCK?!!!! 

EXHIBIT B 

One would say after that fiasco I had learned my lesson.. but noooooooo, still believing ppl, bcoz why would they lie ya know? The Next Ex, Let's call Him NICK-1 ( his name is actually nick but who cares). I moved to another country to be with him.

So, He was insisting that he was going to buy a homecoming gift for me, something I thought was absolutely unnecessary, and told him he doesn't have to repeatedly. He decided since I was starting my Uni, he's going to buy a Mac book for me. After a long back and forth, I finally relented. Then, a couple of days later, when I was going to get on board the plane to there, he called and was like " Well, I thought instead of Mac book, I should get you an LCD" In my mind, I was like " Bitch did I ask you to buy me shit?!!!! you Fucking insisted now after I have left the duty free you are telling that You changed your fucking mind?" but outwardly I was like that's cool, don't get anything babe, I will sort things out when I get there. He said, "nonononono I'm going to buy the LCD I CANNOT LET YOU COME HERE WITHOUT A HOMECOMING GIFT" at that point I was like it is really not necessary. Long story short, He did buy the bloody LCD which was second hand but He insisted that it was NEW I never said shit. But I keep wondering, why? I said repeatedly that I didn't want anything, YOU insisted, even if you have said it was second hand, I would have been ok, but Lying to my face?! WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with you 

EXHIBIT C 

Another Ex of Mine ( Name: you guessed it NICK-2) 

This one is even more disturbing, so we were at this shopping mall, I spotted a watch that I liked for ages in a store window, and was telling him I’m gonna buy this bcoz I liked that watch so much. He was like “no no no no don’t, your birthday is near I wanna buy this for you." and thus  commence arguments about how I can buy that thing for myself, and him saying how he WANTED to buy that for me bcoz it will be the perfect birthday present, again, I relented. So I flew back to my home country for holidays, and he was supposed to fly home too which he did, But Kid you not his story was even more mind-boggling. After he came he concocted this story about how JUST THE WATCH has been stolen from his luggage, not his more expensive watches or Jewelry or perfumes JUST THE 90$ watch that was my gift. Again I didn't say shit but Honestly,  WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH PPL?!

Anyways, Just to wrap things up, YES We do realize you are lying, NO you are not AS SMOOTH OR SMART as you think if we do not confront your sorry ass, it’s bcoz a) we do not care about that crap we like you that much b) unlike you, we are considering your feelings c) we do not want to be more disappointed in you when you come up with more shitty ass excuses to justify your action or d) all of above.

So there you have it, maybe next time before you feel sooooooo smart and smooth, think that the person you are conning may not be as forgiving or nice as us. Well, I think I should feel bad if you get fucked up bcoz of my overlooking your lies, but honestly, I don’t.

#Marchmeetthemaker day 22 What am I proud of? Honestly, #growth I'm so proud to still be #livingmydream #makingart meeting new and interesting people. I haven't given up and believe me there were plenty of times I thought about it. Instead I #adapted #learnedlessons and #evolved My art, #creativity and abilities have come so far from when I first started. Juggling life and running a business has not come without challenges, it involves a lot of #trailanderror and tears. I'm by no means perfect or a master of balance. But I keep showing up, going and grinding. And I believe that's important to recognize.

We all have pet peeves, yes? That one, maybe two things that just irritate the hell out of us; you know what I mean? I have one MAJOR PET PEEVE and it’s a liar! I know the saying goes, ‘the truth hurts’, but I personally think it is FAR WORSE to be told a lie, believe a lie, and then find out it is a lie. I tell everyone, regardless of relationship, ‘please don’t lie to me about anything. I will…

Today morning time I stoped by to the local Chinese store to buy some things for work related case. I coughed up the average time when is not so busy and meantime there was sufficient amount of visitors. What Impressed Me… Their Discipline And Organization. They Strictly followed the pattern of 2 meters distance to avoid any contact or breathing from other people and also when I turned around and asked the staff for products I couldn’t find on shelf they said it’s out of stock at the moment and some of the managers mentioned to me that if I can wait for short time in the store they will do their best to find it in there internal storage. They also were enough polite to offer me replacement similar product should I wish to try. I couldn’t believe it happened to me. I didn’t feel special and I felt their structure and supportive mood is solution oriented. Why I’m also mentioning this, because in a lot of stores already is not followed the safety coded conduct including the customer service and solution oriented staff. It was great teaching lesson to me in the life in general, especially in the business. I’ll do my best to follow up with that. #chinesestore #discipline #organization #properpattern #goodexamples #solutionoriented #customerservice #immediateresponce #distancekept #safetyinthelife#healthandsafety #teachinginthelife#learnedlesson #smallbusiness #businessdiscipline #businessstrategy #chineseeconomy #entrepreneurship #motivationalpattern #empowermentmood https://www.instagram.com/p/CaCluM1r8gu/?utm_medium=tumblr

If your helpless. My advice.

You live, you learn. And If nobody tries to show you, good thing you helped yourself. You'll be surprise how so many don't try to.

Past Toxins

So I was talking to my friend today, trying to find content, and we brought up a group of friends I don’t really talk to any more. In the fall of 2018, I ran into someone from 7 years ago. Talked a bit and started to hang out regularly and joined their group of friends. There was a lot of drinking, parties and late nights. During that time I thought I was doing better, that I was growing as a person. I wasn’t. I was drinking excessively, because I thought I was funner, sexier, and a brighter person. That these people accepted me when I drank with them. What I was doing was ignoring my insecurities, and my pain, doing exactly what I was doing before I was hanging out with them. I didn’t do drugs, I was reliable, responsible and quiet.When we went partying at bars I was the responsible one that drove and stayed sober. I would take them grocery shopping, and cook. I never talked to any of them about my problems because they would all interrupt with giving me advice, when all I needed was someone to listen. When I was feeling good about something I was doing one would always have an opinion, and talk to me like they were an expert. Was looking for a place to live and no one wanted me to move in. They looked for any reason not to have, yet I was the only one that had a steady job, and any life skills. I thought they were my friends, but when I was having a hard time at school and needed some emotional support, I never got any. For the past year, none of them have reached out, accepted my invitations to hang out. The first person I met 7 years pier, any time I talked to them they asked for money or a favour. It took me nearly a year to understand that this is not healthy, its actually very toxic. That if any of those people were my friends they would have stayed by my side, I wouldn’t have felt drinking would help me feel accepted, and I wouldn’t still keep to myself. Now I have realised my friend, mentioned first, has been around for over 4 years. The man I have been talking to for over a year, has been more supportive than most of my friends. More on him in a later post. After a couple months with the school’s councilors, I began to explore what makes me tick. Why I get sad, what makes me happy and ways to process negative feelings. While I am still exploring those feelings I have began to feel happier. A lesson I have learned is that I shouldn’t have to change myself or excessively indulge to fit in with a group. I know it sounds like something one learns in high school, but it took awhile for that lesson to sink in.
