It Sure Changed

Do you remember how a particular person treats you the first time he or she met you? I bet it is a huge different from how they treat you now. After getting to know what kind a person you are, people tend to change their attitude toward you. Do you remember how polite your best friends used to talk to you when they first met your? Just compare to how they do it now, and you will see the difference that you have never noticed before.

Time passes by, your friendship with your buddies are getting tighter and you start to feel free to talk about any topic to them. They also begin to know about your strengths and your weaknesses. When encounter troubles, they might ask for your help because they know exactly about your capability. At this point, you may think that they are taking advantages from you. Well, to some extent, it is. However, if you look at it from another position, this is what a friend should do. Friends help each other, don't they? Correct me if I am wrong about this. Later on, you may realize that they are not who you thought they are. Then you thought to yourself: "He/she has changed!" Oh no. You are wrong. This is because they began to show you the real selves of them -- their ugly sides. Selfish, stingy, nosy, bossy, discourage... There are so many negative personalities in them. It is just that they did not reveal those things to you at the first place. You acknowledged all these by your own in the times you have spent with them.

By any random chance, you have fallen in love with a guy(I am a girl, so I am writing from a girl's perspective.) you just met. Not long after that, two of you have had many precious memories with each other. However, have you ever notice his actions and words are changing gradually. I am not saying that he has a change of heart, on the other hand, he starts to treat you differently. When you first started to date, your boyfriend is very sweet. He would notice all the details, dress properly, take times to decide a good place to go. Yet after 1 or 2 months, he would be very easy-going when dating. He may not care so much about those small things. The first 1 or 2 weeks, he would stick with you no matter where you are. If you are at home, he will text you or reach you through any means. But then, he may say he needs his own space. For example, before he would walk you home rather than just say goodbye to you at the corner to his house like what he does now. From my opinion, he is starting to treat you like his family. He cares about you but not that much because he knows you well enough now. He doesn't have to do everything for you because he understands that you are independent. You are not a baby who needs people to look after every second. What he did at the beginning of your relationship is just to try to get your attention and show you how much he cares.

At the age of 5, your parents decided everything for you. As parents, they tried to give you the best they can.
To you, they are your world. You knew only what they had taught you. They are the center of your life at that time. Later on, you had become a teenager. There were so many for you to explore out there, so you need more freedom. Nevertheless, you parents banned you from all those things because they think that those are dangerous for you. But you thought you were strong enough to face those. Then you started to hate them, blame them for keeping you away from what you desire. After that, you started to remember their advice and understand it little by little. Until you are an adult, you still can rely on their words to you. This is the way you treat your parents differently.

After you know people well, you start to change the way you getting along with them. So don't say that people change, you are changing too.

New Start

Time flies! As 2020 was gone along with an all-cap COVID-19, it is February of 2021 already. In a blink of an eye, the clock ticks life away. Before I knew it, I have wasted my time mostly in my comfort-zone. Comparing to the old me one year ago, I have not really changed internally, still the old me with limited knowledge. As I was watching YouTube videos (which is what I do when I want to escape from hard work), I came across videos of a few YouTubers who did self-reflection and concluded their year with their accomplished or unaccomplished resolution they set at the beginning of 2020. They also analyzed why they did or did not complete those goals. This is a wake up call for me. I am starting to ask myself about the achievement I have done in the past year. I have a motto printed on my desk that says: “Life begins at the end of the comfort-zone”, and I believe that it is true. Without hard work, we will stay the same while others are facing challenges and grow from those efforts the...

"It's not about the money money money"

Being born and raised in this world for 20 years, I finally have a better picture of how the world really is. When I was young, I always thought that the world is so beautiful a place to live in and that I was so lucky to be a human being who can embrace the intelligence, as well as the fruit of the intelligence of our ancestors. What's more, I always thought that those "make the world a better place"s are goals that keep people working constantly. Maybe if I stay naive like that, I could have a happier life. But no. I have seen so many ugly relationships, in which everyone is trying to get benefit out of the people they are with. You are very likely disagreeing my statement, but I have met people who say sweet words in front of you to get you do things and act like very good people to everyone else, when actually they are trying to use you for their own benefit, and even speak ill of you. Take a look at people around you. Have you ever met the one who talk ...

Their Words Don't Count

I went to a reunion gathering with my friends from Chinese school. Everytime we meet up, the bonding in our friendship has been strengthen, upgraded and updated. However, it is a different story this time. Before telling this story, let's rewine to three hours before this when I was at school. I've been putting my heart helping her in her work. Suddenly, when it is decided to have an interview before getting her proposal approved, she pointed the finger to me that I haven't "get any voice" her. Even though I tried my best in explaining the purpose of the interview to her, it seems like not a single word she understand. She just kept complaining about how her effort put in the writing is ruined and how terrible she is when it comes to verbally communicating with people blah blah blah. The fire to my explosion was that she even used all cap in replying the chat. Maybe it was because the conversation was done in writing that I didn't know how her ture feeli...
