Show how much you love but never ask for it

No matter how hard you try, there are some things in life that you cannot change. So, just enjoy the time given to you. Don’t waste it by crying over small things. Live happily, laugh every day, spread love, don’t hold grudges, be nice for no reason. This way, you’ll be remembered by the people around you.

Love is not something you get when you ask for it. Same with these two; time and attention. You can never ask for these. It happens when it happens. Even if you’re a good friend of someone, you can’t keep annoying them to talk to you all the time.

In my opinion, if you like someone, there’s no rule that they should like you too. And you shouldn’t change your attitude towards them when they don’t like you back. It’s just weird and bad.

People change. They all do when they meet new people. Everybody likes the word new. But there are very fewer people in this world who won’t forget the old when they find something/someone new. You’re one lucky son of a gun if you have some friends like that. Just one friend like that is more than enough, to be honest.

But it’s important to show them how much you love. There’s a chance they might see it someday and they might love you back and they might even spend some time with you and also you will get all the attention that you wanted. And if they don’t love you back, it’s okay. Keep trying or just let it go. Always fill your head with positivity that things always happen for a reason. Sometimes things don’t go the way as planned and you shouldn’t feel bad about it. Just think that it wasn’t meant to be.

Patience is all you need sometimes. I know it’s hard to keep trying all the time. Most of the people will lose it at some point and they give up. It’s okay. As i said, some people are not meant to be a part of your life. Just move on and don’t change yourself because someone didn’t want you as a friend. There are a lot of people in this world. Keep trying and you might find yourself someone as cool as you.

Live your own life. Not someone else’s. If you’re living just to impress others, you’re not going to be happy anytime soon. You must be thinking what’s the worse thing that could happen.. Well… stress, anxiety, depression, overthinking, everything’s going to attack you if you live your life just to please others (Go on and try if you don’t trust me). So, it’s better to know when to say NO and most importantly, know when to quit from a relationship (friendship or love, whatever it is).

Finding a true friend in real life is not as easy as accepting someone’s friend request on Facebook. Social networking sites these days are just to show off your fake friends as a number. All we ever care about is that number you’re having on followers list. People just judge you by seeing your Facebook and Instagram followers. Trust me, a lot of people do. It’s sick.

Inspiration: An amazing TV show that i watched recently called After Life. This will definitely change the way you live your life. And one of my favorite lines goes like this: “We’re not just here for us. We’re here for others. All we’ve got is each other. We’ve got to help each other struggle through til we die and then we’re done.”

Just a tip: Next time when you say Happy Weekend to someone, try asking them How happy are you this weekend?
