When your opinion is not accepted by the society. When you feel like you have a valid reason or a good opinion. Speak out for yourself. To be honest,since I was young I have always had the problem with letting out my own opinion. Yes im loud and I talk a lot but there are so many things that I want to share but are scared to do so just because I was afraid that it would not be accepted. We live in a society that is really influenced by the media. For example when the media says oh being stick thin is the in thing. People,young girls especially strive to get the perfect body. Even when they know that it is unattainable. Back in the days when I was in primary school when you have a lot of friends on friendster is that how you spell it? or myspace then you are considered cool. When friends put you as their top 8 and even better top 1 you would feel valuable but the truth is what is it that we are really searching for? Is it popularity,status,money,fame or simply just happiness? What is it that we strive for in this world? I was once a victim in this situation. Maybe because I was trying to discover my own beliefs. After a few years of trying to fit in with the cool kids or whatever. I stopped. One day I broke down. Since that day I became closer to God and alhamdulillah that has made me realize. I live in this world to feel loved yes. Think about what you and I seek. What are we running after and willing to give anything just to hear?
“I’m taking care of you.”
“It’s going to be okay.”
“I love you. Always. That will never diminish or change.”
“You can hold on to me.”
“I will never let you down.”
“I will never hurt you.”
“I will never leave you.”
“I will always be there for you.”
“I appreciate you.”
“I see you.”
“I understand you.”
“I know who you are.”
“I’m close to you.”
“I will forgive you.”
“You don’t have to be perfect.”
“I will never abandon you.”
“I will never betray you.”
“I got your back.”
“I’ll take care of it.”
“I’m listening. I’m really listening.”
“I’ll never let them hurt you.”
“I’ll always protect you.”
“I’ll never leave you.”
“You are never alone.”
“I will never leave you alone.”
“When everything around you is falling apart, I’ll hold you up.”
“I truly only want what’s best for you.”
“Even when you’re messing up, I will still forgive you.”
“Even when you’re unable to give, I will always give you.”
“Even when you’re fighting me, I’ll still be kind. I still won’t abandon you.”
“No matter what you do, I can always forgive you.”
“I love you despite your weaknesses and your faults.”
“I will give you peace.”
“I will make you happy.”
“I will give you stability.”
“I will give you strength and power.”
“I will cure you.”
“I will give you status and respect.”
“I will always comfort you.”
“No matter how tiny the gesture is, if you do it for me, I’ll appreciate and reward you for it.”
“If you turn to me, I’ll be there for you, no matter what.”
“No matter what you’ve done to me, I can always forgive you.”
The truth is when we thought that we are looking for a good husband or a good boyfriend,fame or money. We are just looking for God. No wonder we fill empty when those things dont seem to fill our hearts,needs and emptiness but the emptiness was created for us to find Him. Think about it again.
