The most singular thing I love about other humans, is that we are all different.
Some people love to travel the world, meet new people, see new places. Some people like to stay at home, visit the same places, and be close to their loved ones. Some people live to work, some people work to live. Things that I find interesting, you necessarily wouldn't. Some love make-up and reading magazines, some people like watching the Opera and reading Shakespeare. Some love to be the centre of attention, some would rather sit and observe.
As long as that person is happy, and is a good, kindhearted person, then surely, this is all that matters? It doesn't matter, if one person knows the name of every Mac lipstick, but doesn't know the difference between Macbeth and McLovin?
Some people may know both, or neither? It doesn't make us any less of a person, either way.
As long as we are growing, and challenging ourselves every day to become a better person, and lead a better life, in regards to being happy, and reaching our own personal goals, all whilst showing compassion and kindness to others, then surely this is the main thing?
One person's daily accomplishment, is different to another's, some people struggle to get out of bed, and venture outside as they are crippled with depression. Another person's goal may be buying an around-the-world ticket, and jet-setting off to start a new life.
Until we walk a day in another's shoes, and truly understand their passions, hopes and dreams. Who are we to judge anyone, about how they are living their lives?
Just because their path is different to ours, doesn't mean it is wrong. It means we are all unique.
It is so easy to jump to conclusions, but we should try and show compassion always. We haven't got any idea what another's life-decisions are based on, or what they are dealing with in their life.
If you are feeling vulnerable, and worrying about what people may, or may not think of you.
(I think we have all been there, at some point in our lives).
I will leave you with this quote from my sister account:
" The only opinion of you that matters, is your own."
This blog post is one of the best blog posts I've ever read babe. So inspiring and wonderful. <3 This post really needs to be so well-known. I love it!

Wow!! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your lovely words, and so glad you enjoyed the post. :o) xxx
DeleteI wish more people thought this way. When people make judgments about someone else's differences, they not only forget how hurtful that can be, or how awful it can feel when people point you out as being different, but they also forget that if we were all the same, with the same strengths & weaknesses, we would never advance as a species. If we had no mathematicians because everyone was good at English but not maths, we'd have amazing literature & conversations, but no houses to live in because no one would know how to measure the materials correctly! The world would be a very boring place if we weren't individuals. Xx

I totally agree Tania, so sad that some people are actually just not judged, but sometimes killed for their differences. Still in shock over the massacre in Orlando. :o( x
DeleteI'm glad someone else thinks this way! The fact that we're all so different and complex makes this world so beautiful, everything would be so boring if we were all the same! x

ReplyDeleteAh thanks so much. You are so right, to just stop and try and see it from a different perspective works wonders to your opinion, and moving forward understanding people's differences, and then embracing them. :o) xxxx
DeleteWell said and timely for the current craziness in the world today. Love the difference no hate. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, only just seen this reply. Xx
DeleteI LOVE this. I spend so much time thinking I'm inferior as I don't see the appeal in travelling, and always want to be surrounded by my family, but thats just me! But seriously, who IS McLovin? Xx
ReplyDeleteI so thought I replied to you, I never had any appeal for travelling until a couple of years ago, and this is my point, everyone is growing every damn day, and you do each day what you feel is right for you. Xx
