DOES IT FEEL RIGHT?💜

 

 

Does it feel right?

Very often, I’m disappointed with how people treat me. I want people to be more compassionate to me. Maybe it’s because I would treat them the exact same way. I shower my friends with love and kindness and I feel really bad if I’m treated any less than how I would treat them.

I go extra miles to make the ‘people I love’ happy and I’m heartbroken when I found out they wouldn’t do the same for me.

But then I remind myself that sometimes, kindness is a personality trait and not everyone has it. I’m also reminded that not everyone can be like me.

I often feel like I’m self-righteous when I tell people how I want to be treated. I expect to be treated with respect and kindness and whenever I’m treated differently, I speak up.

Of course, this has left me with lesser friends but it only makes me know who my real friends actually are.

I’ve had people tell me “try to tolerate people or you’ll just chase them away”

I’ve also had people tell me “don’t let anyone treat you lesser than they should, love yourself, respect yourself”

And then I just think to myself ‘What am I supposed to do?’.

Most times, different opinions leave me confused than satisfied and so I do what I’m comfortable doing. I mean isn’t that what is right?

Can’t I just do what I’m comfortable doing rather than prove anything to anyone?

As long as I’m not hurting anyone, my happiness and satisfaction should be my priority.

Same thing goes with how I dress. Can’t I just wear what I’m comfortable wearing instead of thinking what people will say?

I’m never going to conform to what people term as ‘normality’ just to feel normal.

Is there anyone out there who is actually normal?

I mean what is ‘normal’? Is it the person who doesn’t dress too ‘churchy’? Is it someone who isn’t too slim? Is it someone who isn’t a feminist? Is it someone who is cheery or someone who’s depressed?

Why do we adapt to things just because the world calls them ‘normal’? No that’s not how things work.

I’ve never understood the term ‘normal’. I believe it’s just something a group of people see and conclude that it’s generally acceptable.

I don’t know if my point is actually clear. I don’t know if I’m the only one who wonders about all these things.

Stereotypes, societal values and normality are three things I’ve never understood.

Are they even meant to be understood?

Is the society right about its conclusions and assumptions?

Is it right?

Does it feel right?
