I stayed at home the whole day.
I did the laundry and swept the floor.
After which, I glued my eyes to the macbook to catch Freedom Writers online.
It is truly inspiring.
I shed a tear or two towards the middle part when they had a "Toast for change" and some kid read his diary entry.
They managed to overcome their differences and be united.
Believe me, it is definitely hard for them to even be in the same class since they all have issues with one another which includes violence towards one another.
In the end, they changed themselves for the better.
Even up to having to go against their own race.
"You are the heroes. You are heroes every day. But even an ordinary secretary or a housewife or a teenager can, within their own small ways, turn on a small light in a dark room."
Then I watched Coach Carter online.
Another inspiring movie about teenagers changing their course of life.
About how passionate they are about basketball and how united they are as a team that they helped out each other.
Especially when Timo had to do many suicides by the end of the day and the team helped him out.
Yes, the movies are inspirational and heart-warming.
"There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
I don`t know what I feel.
Its happened all of a sudden.
I feel like I`m always worrying people.
Be it family members or friends.
They are always worried about me.
Yes, I do know that they are concerned and they love me.
But sometimes I wish I could just grow up and learn to shut up.
I should know that everybody else have their own problems and I should learn to solve mine by myself.
I should grow up and be independent.
Isn`t that part of my resolution?
Its not that I don`t trust anyone.
Its just that I am insecure for a little bit.
What if I depend too much on someone?
What if they disappoint me?
I can`t help but feel a little guarded.
I don`t wish to end up making the same mistake thrice.
I know its as if I`m judging them and thinking the worst of them, I don`t.
Its just that I can`t help myself but think about it.
I do appreciate them, I really do.
I really need to grow up.
I am too spoilt and pampered for my own good.
I should learn that there are no such things as happy endings.
I should learn to think using my head and not always follow my heart.
I should learn to be more rational and considerate.
Sigh.
So much for better days.
