An Extrovert's Introvert Cheek

I was never an introvert by choice.

I guess my repeated failures in human inter action, failing to meet socially acceptable standards was also not a choice.
The fact of being in a circle without really being IN the circle was never the less unfathomable by the hands of reality by which we all live in. Sometimes extroverts like me also has another side of its cheek, its not as if my face has a sign that says "SHE is an extrovert. She always laughs when needed (seldom not needed, but still), says Joke when appropriate, and even curses when she feels like it. She is an extrovert, binded by the surface in which her soul belongs too, that when you are a big person you must always be the laughing stock or you must always be a clown or that she wont feel the half truth in every joke you said. Yes She is an extrovert. Funny. But still complicated." yes i guess that’s the sign all people i know see in me, but deep within my angst and humour i guess the (quote)" intelligent" (unquote) people i am with doesn’t mind hurting me, coz they always feel that ill take every word as a joke.

Dont get wrong, i know i am all talkative and stuff but would it hurt to push the pedal brakes of your mouth? i guess its not funny when you *not* obviously in a jokingly manner tell people that we dont need you, or that you deserve to be in another segment/unit. Oh haha! thats so funny! youve just mastered the art of being humorous in a subtle way. *clap clap clap*
Yet people tell us we’re all different; unique, for use of a better word. And yet, there are norms, which I failed to understand, that if somebody sees you with this skill that you must always stick with what you obviously have, question? would it hurt to trust a person with a different thing? i guess not, but i guess your brain has been squashed with the ego running around your frontal lobe so what could somebody like me do? ofcourse there is. Nothing. if youve realized that you are the person im talking about, well im sorry, i guess this no good girl has nothing good to say in her blog haha!

But seldom people like me dont see that, What we fail to realise is that our own standards are at times tied into the standards set by society or those you consider friends. Not meeting those standards or letting them down is akin to letting yourself down. Before long, you begin to be left out of conversations and you resign yourself to your fate; falling upon a sword that is thrust into your hand, but was never yours to begin with. You withdraw; taking backward steps, until you begin to feel comfortable in your own isolation, or so you tell yourself and others, if asked. The truth is, you never accept this, but you live like you do. You want to be spoken to. You want to be loved and not ignored. You want to accepted, trusted and be useful, You want to be important and not merely a silent presence or a wall flower with a body and mouth that speaks.

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff:Jan 16' #ReadingStash

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff: Omnibus Special Edition (Don't Sweat the Small Stuffs,  DSTSS at Work and  DSTSS about Money) After a boring day at the pad, i met up with my best friend (call her halfsies) over our traditional coffee and junk food session- which takes about 2-4 hours max, i was very glad she was back in the city coz i truly missed her. Anyway, after our our session we randomly decided to go the bookstore near my place to check out books - we never really planned to buy anything but lo and behold one book literally shined - and this is the book by Richard Carlson "Dont Sweat the Small Stuff", so i decided to buy it. Within an hour of reading the book, i was already feeling the aura of changing stuffs in my life, can you believe it that within an hour i was so damned into the book that i read 100 pages of it. God it so good. So i'll just leave it her, just so if anyone of you wants to ask me what book should you read to start the year right, i

Unsaid Thoughts

This is past few months has been quite challenging for me, my personal life is infact, a whirlwind in the literal sense, there's the moments of me almost giving up my job, for i dont feel very much compensated, i mean, dont get me wrong, i love the job i am in, it doesnt pay well but the experiences and the fact that though i am young, and i am able to handle different projects (several in fact) that young ones cannot chance upon, i love my job, the people i work with and my ever resilient, very powerful woman boss that i have. But as a millenial, there are moments when you even think if you even want to continue what you are doing, there are the quarter life crisis moments lingering at the back of your head, whispering fuck up thoughts telling you to quit and  move on, to a greener pasture perhaps? or maybe a job that will tell you that you are worth it and that you are important. You know, a girl gotta have her spare coins to waste, but in my case, i dont have any, i have bee

Lying to be Perfect

We are all Cinderella no matter what size, within each one of us there is unique beauty and grace. Finding that beauty, however, isn't easy. See, Cinderella had to first recognize that the problem wasn't her evil step mother. The problem was that it was easier to hide out cleaning the house than to go out and find happiness. She needed a fairy-godmother to empower her with the kind of self-confidence it takes to reject the insecurity brought on by unrealistic, over cheating, air brush, anorexic princess images in the media.  - Nola (Lying to be Perfect) Here I am, wrapped fabulously in my black aero shirt and skimpy leggings staring at my figure in a full mirror at my pad, yeah I guess this isn’t the best I could pull off from my disaster of a closet, but moreover the real reason I am blogging right now is that because I came into a conclusion in my life… and believe me when I tell you that this is a big thing for me.
