I could be different.

I feel like I'm on this path where I've hit a certain age and I'm tired of being mediocre, and want to be the best that I can be. I'm not talking in terms of anything particularly specific, but there are definite parts of my personality that annoy the absolute shit out of me. I can be a proper whiny bastid for one, and I often centre my attentions on people I care about, or things that are important to me - which isn't a bad thing, but it does mean I have silly opinions that shouldn't be too important for anyone else to live alongside. I've now taken on board a (possibly?) Arabian Proverb...

The words of the tongue should have three gatekeepers:

  > Is it true?

  > Is it kind?

  > Is it necessary?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna become perfect. I don't expect to be, and honestly, if I didn't have the occasional Pickle rant that was potentially offensive to at least SOMEONE, I think I'd lose a part of me. However, the above rings true, and I want to be a better person, and not allow these negative judgments and thoughts spread to others.

I already know it's not gonna be overnight. I'm a horrifically judgmental person, and I'm aware that a lot of my issues are because I  have a tendency to project. I assume that everyone is just as judgmental as me, when in actuality, I'm a speck of dust in the grand scheme of things and I'm barely ever considered by anyone outside of my circle.

All this said, don't expect me to become a completely different person. Not happening. I will just attempt to remember that it is NOT okay to silently judge, or loudly judge anyone, and rest assured if the ugly side of me pops up in a conversation, I will be over-thinking it until next week, kicking myself that i'm not finished learning yet. :P

Let's talk about throat-punching people who ask for your advice and then promptly ignore all of it!

I mean, I know I've been there, I'm pretty good at asking for opinions and then being insane enough to go "Balls to your advice!" and running off to do the opposite. Although now, I really would like to think that I will at least consider what's been said before continuing down a road that could ultimately prove maddeningly awful.

I've come to the conclusion that no matter how frustratingly annoying it is, if someone asks your advice they usually want an "Okay, do it." sort of response. If there's a negative, chances are they're going to look for a door or a gateway, or even a ladder to find some loopholes and jump over that wall you've created, to do whatever they want anyway.

I need to bear this in mind more often.

The pose used here has been edited so severely, it looks nothing like the original... so I'm leaving this blank!

Today I am struggling to write, so I'm not going to! Also, Santi is just playing man-dolly (although, can you say Weeknd?), and his credits will be missing. ♥
