I want to be really quick and short about this. There are times when I feel so terrible - who doesn't - so much that I imagine I'm carrying the world's burden on my shoulders. These are the times I really feel incompetent, like I'm just wasting space in earth just by existing. BAM! He tells me I'm doing a great job. BAM! I feel like I'm flying to the moon. I'm really a very emotional person. In fact, I'm a crybaby. But you know how they say that kind words does magic on people? Well, I'm quite easy to please (shove me nice looking desserts or decorated food and I can't help but smile - my day brightens up just like that) but sometimes I would really be down and no amount of chocolate or dessert will cheer me up. Then, that one person says something positive directed at me. I may be the only one putting extra meaning in those words, or maybe I'm putting too much value in sincerity, but you know, praise does nice fuzzy things to people. And don't we all love to be told that we are useful, functional people? I think there are six billion people in this planet. But I can say, fuck Maslow and his pyramid. Sometimes you only need ONE. So next time, remember to say something nice to people, because you never know if you'll be the reason for them to try better and never lose hope. Thanks.  |
