You can't please everyone @ 23:24

hey guys!

so today my topic is that you can't please everyone. No I am serious. I know everyone has already told you this so many times. Yet, I always see people that I know still trying to please everyone around them. Being a Libran myself, I am guilty of that. But I have come to realize that the only way you can remain happy and stay sane is to only please yourself, yes that would make you kind of selfish, but I am fine with that now. Even my mummy tells me that I love myself more than I love her. And that I would always think about myself before I think about others.

Nothing wrong with that. As long as you are not hurting anyone for your benefits in any way, it's completely fine to be selfish. anyways back to my topic of how you just can't please EVERYONE. I cam across this phrase once. Cant remember the exact words but it says how people will hate you if you are pretty or ugly, smart or stupid. So best is to stop trying to please everyone and just please yourself.

I find it ironic when people tell me that I spent too much money on skincare and perceive me as someone who is on the vain side, because I am into makeup and skincare products. Oh I am sorry, I am not born with clear perfect skin and unlike some of you lazy asses, I actually have to work towards having good skin. If I take care of my skin, I look like I am trying too hard and that I am vain. If I don't then the aunties around the world will come and tell me how bad my skin is. FML. Ok not only aunties, but random people will come and tell me how my acnes are so bad, and that I should do something about it. BLA BLA BLA.

Another thing, and this one is particularly annoying is how people tell me not to diet and eat whenver I want, whatever I want. Are you telling this to a girl who painfully lost 16kg? Go fuck yourself? If I ever go very off track, like eat unhealthy for a week. a week. I instantly put on 1-2kg. I am not born with a great metabolism. when I gain weight then those same people are the first one to say that I have gotten heavier and all that crap. Maybe they are just joking but still, its not nice. Like when I first went back to India for a holiday and I had put on way too much weight, my relatives could not recognise me and made fun of how fat I had become. and they were telling this to a 14 yr old girl.

I suffered for a long time thinking of ways on how I could lose weight. I hated the fact that my mum could cook such delicious food which was making me fat. through out my teenage years, I did acted like weight is the least of my concern but it was. I wanted to be thin and pretty just like the girls my age. and I would read books, search online on how to lose weight. It was SO FRUSTRATING. When despite trying so hard I still could not lose any weight. But as I entered adulthood, controlling my cravings became more manageable and also my mum started working so I could not eat her delicious food that often. That itself made me lose about 10kg. wow I know right. I mean I hate butter, and I dont eat too much at fast food joints and I am a vegetarian so the only thing that was making me fat was my mum's food which I ate heaps and heaps of.

these days, I read the nutrition information at every food package, It may not stop me from buying that bar of chocolate but it does make me more aware of whats going inside my body and maybe I can choose a healthier food option after that. I am not exactly slim yet. But I am of a healthy weight now. I still want to lose more weight but I am not going to get carried away or anything. I have a goal. to be 48kg. I will stop once I reach that weight. :)

So yeah, dont't please anyone anymore. Do what makes you happy and do it for yourself! ^^
