Ma mélange, un Aide-mémoire.

Dear self,

We know already that overthinking and overanalyzing things just turn out to ruin everything. We comprehend already that over curiousity has the ultimate power to crush us into pieces. We concluded that after overcoming that, we’ll be all okay with everything. And I know that we are on our way to cope with those things.

But then, do you know? There is still one threatening action. Honesty on a wrong timing and misunderstandings. We never think of those before, self! You can see now, when you look at the mirror, your eyes with the size of pingpong ball, as the result of those over-things plus honesty on a wrong timing and misunderstanding. You can feel it now how it hurts your pride and makes you cried yourself to sleep. Poor us, oh dear self!

It really is gotten to you now the saying of “there are some words that are better left unsaid, some things that are better left undone”, ain’t it?

Honesty is a good thing to do. We’ve been taught of that since we were kids, small kids. But then we grew up and learned that we have to control that. We need to read the situation beforehand, and predict whether our honesty is bringing us and people around a good thing or not. So, perfect timing and situation reading is what it counts for honesty. If we can’t, we’re finished. People may change and it can flip the whole things in a blink of an eye. And people may distrust you. They are proud of you for being honest, but still, you’re the bad man for being honest of something you actually need not to be honest of.

Musunderstanding is as well dangerous. When we text someone, or chat with someone without any voice or face expression, there is a huge probability that the person whom we are talking to misunderstands what we actually mean. So after last night, we learn something, dear self! Don’t ever talk about feelings or sensitive matters unless we face the person directly.

Oh dear self, lo and behold! We may fall once or twice. There are times when we’re on top and there are other times when we’re on the bottom side of the wheel. If we survive the worst, we will definitely know how to be grateful in times of awe and joy.

Well, this is life. We fall, we stand up. Then we learn and we grow.
