DAY 2: Something somebody told me about myself that i will never forget.

Well, I have decided to write about both the positive and negative statements i've been told about myself that I will never forget. Just one of each.

THE NEGATIVE STATEMENT THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET.

Sighs*

Somebody told me "you’re full of hate". I was so sad that day. Like, i always see myself as that person that loves everybody until you give me a reason not too. Like, when I see you, I have a very clear mind towards you. I just look at you and observe, until you do something that strikes me as being stupid, mean, rude, nice, thoughtful, caring, uncaring etc etc. I’m that person that does’nt hate random strangers. I don’t care much about you to even form any opinion most times. You just exist to me, I might not particularly like you, but at the same time I don’t hate you! I’m nice to practically EVERYONE until you give me a reason not to be! Who understands me please? Hate is too strong a word. Lets assume the person said "dislike" it wouldn’t have been so bad . It hurt me. I was merely explaining the reasons why i don’t exchange pleasantries or familiarize myself with some group of people oh!

I used my big mouth to invite the insult. So yeah, maybe I should learn to talk less in future.

Now I have let it go, but sometimes I still wonder why the person said that, I know who I am and I’m a love being.

THE POSITIVE STATEMENT THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET.

Somebody said “you’re a game changer!” Used a bible scripture to back it up and said it with such a straight face, I was forced to believe it instantly! Funny thing is, life happened between I and that person, we don’t talk anymore like we used to do( I just inserted some lyrics😂) but I have not forgotten. I doubt I will ever forget.

I am a game changer.
I am a revolutionary.
