And being someone who has the tendency to throw away nasty words, I have to admit that I am the least favorite to certain people. Hey, who wants to listen to negative comments about themselves, right? Truth hurts. Not many people could swallow reality down their throats without choking. It tastes ghastly and horrible. And it is indeed a human’s nature to like sweet compliments, even though sugar makes them fat.
I like compliments too. I mean, who doesn’t? But I don’t get them tossed in my face that often. And that is what I like the most about my life, to have a family and a few close friends whom I considered true people with true words. Being brought up as the daughter of a discipline teacher, I learned to chomp in the negative words and turn it into positive traits. Still, pleasing my mom with good grades, stay out of harm’s way or being a top notch at the workplace would not guarantee she will pat me on the back. For her, nothing is ever good enough.
The same goes with my close friends, their true words help me to understand myself better. They don’t judge me, they don’t compliment me but they know me well enough to let me know what they think of me and my work. I always know what to expect from them and what’s not.
Sweet talks melt you but straight opinions build you.
I will miss this blog :)
Living my life pathetically happy.
