If you hear someone telling others negative stuff about yourself, you should know that YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO EXPERIENCED THAT. The same thing happened to me too. Well, here’s what I have to say to them.
Don’t force your ideal me on me. If you don’t see beyond the “Glenice” you think I was, then you don’t know me at all. I never forced my ideals on you to begin with. I accepted you for who you are, so I was expecting you’d do the same for me. Is that so hard to do?
errr…maybe some people do find that hard to do. LOL!
Just recently I was told by my officemate that she likes me because I don’t do “libak”. I was pleased with myself for that. hahah, I just listen to them gossip about other people, but personally I got tired of minding other people’s business. “kapoi na manlibak”. I’d prefer to be called a self-centered egoist rather than talk about other people’s dirt. I have to mind my own life, you know. Even if it seems boring to wrap myself in my own bubble, but I love it. I don’t care what you say about me, I’m totally ignoring negative vibes now.
I’ve tried wallowing myself in depression some time ago and it didn’t help at all. It only created lots of trouble for me and I just wasted my relatively limited time. I realized, I might have to live only for a few years, a few months, a few weeks or a few days, so it doesn’t matter what they will say about me. When I die I’ll just come back and haunt them! LOL!!!
On a more serious note, I know now that the most important thing to do is to live the life I wanted to live. I’ve only got one. There’s no sense wasting it. I’ll just do what I wanted to do, regardless of what the others say about me. After all, my character is more important than my reputation. And my character is all about living life without treading on other people’s lives (unless they try to mess up with me. *evil grin*).
Stronger than yesterday! … I’m walking on sunshine… Singing in the rain…
My head is spinning and I’m feeling dizzy coz I’m kinda sick, but I’m happy even though I’m all alone right now. Turns out, I don’t need anyone to be this happy. I just needed to be with myself to realize that. :D
I’m totally posting this on my tumblr account, and I’m plurking this positive aura everyday, and I’ll tweet this. I’m spreading the “AJA” spirit all over my social networks!

Recently I’ve been posting stuffs on my social networks as if they’re my diaries. I surf the net and notice some people who needs someone to cheer them up and send them messages. It’s a very fulfilling act, and it helped me change my attitude about life and myself.
Here’s what I found out while browsing on other posts:
****
- Most people who posted depressing things on their blog seemed really depressed with their entire existence. They don’t even notice the tiny rays of sunshine in their seemingly bleak life.
- Everything on their blog contains purely depressing thoughts. I even read some posts about individuals who were depressed when they visited some online shopping sites and realized that they don’t have the money to buy anything.
- For some, even if someone tries to cheer them up, they don’t notice it. The usual response is “leave me alone”. In that case, nobody can help them. They even say it’s hopeless for other people to try and cheer them up.
- Most of them just need to change their perspective in life. They think they carry the world on their shoulder, so they notice the weight of it more than anything else.
- Some just needs someone to confide their problems to. But nobody ever notices them so they are in a dilemma.
- Some are just going through really tough times of their lives. (I used to be like that some time ago, but I never posted my problems on Tumblr or on Facebook though. I just don’t find it a great idea to wear my heart on my sleeve. Apparently most people don’t think like I do.)
- Some seem to just have fun posting depressing thoughts on their blogs. It looks like they made it their mission in life to make everyone else suffer reading their every depressing thoughts. They seem to think it makes them cool to post depressing nonsense on their blog.
****
And here’s the conclusion I’ve come up.
Sooner or later quite a few Tumblr users, Facebookers or Youtubers might commit suicide if no one notices them. (I’ve already read some news about a Youtuber who commited suicide.) A lot of them needs help, but more people just have to help themselves get over with their depression.
I tried to help cheer up a few of them, and the reactions so far are positive. Two of my favorite quotes became my weapon in fighting my own depression so I shared it with them and I’m sharing it here too. And these are:
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” -E. Roosevelt
and
“Whatever is beyond the control of my will is nothing to me.” -Stoicism
Cheer up, y’all! Keep the fire of hope burning no matter how tiny it gets. In the end, only you can help yourself. Always believe that you are awesome no matter what others say about you.
:D
