I'm not sure about this name.. you guy's should've seen the ones I came up with when this post was on it's drafting stages. Basically, I wanted to have a weekly post that was annual or maybe every-other week that was more about reflecting. Reflecting on events/thoughts that occurred during the week. I'm not sure how interesting this will be to everyone but it's something that I definitely would love to look back on. Basically, the idea is I want to have some of my highs and some of my lows that happened during the week listed down in a blog post. When I first thought of this idea, I thought I should lean more toward the positive side and just write about my highs, but that's not the type of person I am, I know that in order to have some good times in life, you'll most likely have some bad ones too. (you'll come to know my extreme distaste for this fact) But anyways, let's get on with it...
Highs:
A Laughter-Inducing Film:
Something That Made Me Smile: (like thought about it randomly and smiled)
Something that Brought Some Excitement to my Life:
Goodies of the Week:
Cutie-shot of the week:

Lows:
The low thoughts in my mind goes off along the same theme this week "the world/life is terrifying". I don't like to think of myself a scaredy-cat (sometimes I really am though) but I really aim to not be one because I like the idea of being fearless. But sometimes when I really think, I get absolutely freaked out. As amazing as this world is, it shouldn't be news to you that there is some not-so-nice things going on outside are little safe bubble. There are some terrible things going on and some terrible people out there. It completely saddens me how there are terrible people in the world that probably don't even understand that they're horrible. They don't know any better, at least I don't like the thought of someone being level-headed to just choose to be hurtful towards someone else. Basically this all got me thinking since I've been experiencing more and more in seeing/hearing things that is almost like the "promotion" of being a bully basically. Like when it comes to things that people can't help like their race/sexuality/their interests/etc. Whenever this type of "promotion" happens, I'm always just dumfounded by the amount of responses that goes along the line of "yeah, I totally think that too & also, (insert something else about putting someone down)". It's like encouragement from both parties that it's okay to put others down and then I feel like it's almost like their praised because "someone finally said it". I'm not even kidding you when I say I just have a lot of trouble having the space in my brain to judge someone to an extreme extent, like I'm human, if you have a spot on your face, I'll probably see and notice it, but it's not something I would comment on, let alone talk about like it'll get me gossip points or something. These experiences in hearing/seeing this type of promotions has led me to be more of a self-conscious person, that's also another reason why I find it hard to judge someone else, I'm too busy judging myself and wondering what the other person is jotting down of the things that are wrong with me. Whenever someone has those thoughts, of being put down by yourself, it's horrible, it becomes this cycle. Basically, I just wanted to talk about this topic so that I can promote being the person who says "why does it matter?" When you find yourself just even around a conversation that's all about putting someone down for whatever it is, be the one that says "why does it matter?", "why is that important to be noted on?", "does that one fact sum up the entire person?". Maybe your not as outspoken and won't actually say those things, but make sure you ask yourself those things, those questions will give you a reality check and I think those type of questions will keep you from being someone who misses out on a great person simply because of judgement or something shallow.
Give me your thoughts on this type of post, It's something that I really enjoyed writing. But if it's only my future-self reading this post, then this is me reminding myself to put my own thoughts down there about my thoughts back then.
