Someone I am.

@amiableBunny4016 Hello again! On your last post, you said that I made you feel understood, but oh how reading this felt like someone had opened up my head and read aloud what they saw. You have such a unique perception of the world, one that I wished more shared with you.

Human beings are inherently social creatures, that’s how we have survived so long, by working as a group to overcome life’s challenges. I think there’s some inherent need to be accepted in all of us as a result of our history. If you weren’t accepted by the group back then, it had serious consequences for your survival. But now a days, that’s not true. We don’t NEED social acceptance to survive, but going without it can be incredibly uncomfortable, hence so many people scramble for it.

And a lot of that acceptance that we feel like we need comes from our money, our status, our jobs, political views, physical appearances, etc. Sometimes people need outside validation to be able to validate themselves. Many of us seem to be born with this feeling of “I have to prove my worth. I have to prove that I’m worth the space I take, the food I eat, the oxygen I breathe”. But I don’t think it’s from birth that we have that, I think it’s instilled in us as we grow up.

My grandfather once told me “being beautiful is great, but if the world was blind, who would you impress?” and that’s always stuck with me. Who would I impress? The people who love me? My boss? My partner? People on the street? Maybe the person I need to focus on impressing is myself. And maybe I can do that by just… being. Just living, smiling, laughing, crying, watching my life slowly move on by and being able to look at it and think “this is good”. When people look back on you, it’s not your appearance, or your status, or your followers, or your money that they will truly remember. It’s how you treated them, it’s the words you said to them, how you made them feel that will truly stick with them.

Maybe our picture of “successful and worthy” has nothing to do with our followers, careers, friends, etc. Maybe it should be about the souls that reside in your bodies, the kindness that lives in your hearts. Maybe it should be more about how we look at the world, and less about how the world looks at us. Maybe the mirror is not there to show me what others see, but to show me the human vessel that holds these thoughts, these feelings. Maybe my reflection isn’t there for me to scowl at with harsh words “you should be better, prettier, kinder, thinner”. Maybe it’s there for me to observe, with no judgement, and take a moment to truly see myself, not just for the freckles on my skin and the colour in my hair, but for the kindness in my eyes and the gentleness of my hands. Maybe I am still a child, maybe I need to be a little kinder to the kid within me, maybe I need to love them a little pay them a little more attention. Maybe then I will look at myself with ease, without turning away, and say “I love you, because you are me”.

I love this bunwee 🥺 *sends luvv and hugs if ok*

@amiableBunny4016

dudeeee, you totally need your own TedTalk segment. You need to preach this to the kids at my school I swear. You're view of the world is one of which many people choose to the world but this side of the world is what is most important. The side where you don't see the struggle and the manipulative ways of humans, our phones, social media, ect. And I think its so beautiful ur helping others see that. im so so so so so so very proud

Heyloooo weird notice:

I guess I might carry on with this little writing journey. But if there is any topics you want me to write about I would love to! Let me know if you have any ideas! 😜 Otherwise we will just go with the flow!

@amiableBunny4016

That was nice to read, i have some trouble getting over these judgments, most of my closest friends define me by how much i show off, my relationship status and my popularity at work. it feels bad u know, i wanna be enough just by being who i am, and not have to change myself just to attract people's eyes.

@amiableBunny4016 Thank you for the tag 🙂 You really are great with putting thoughts into words. I could definitely see you having a book published. 💙

@amiablebunny4016

Thank you for this.

We are not out job. We are not out money.

@amiableBunny4016

We humans are just like that, never satisfied with what we have, always aiming for more and more and more. In some cases its good, a healthy fire pushing you to be your best self, but in other cases it turns out horrid, the healthy fire becomes unhealthy, burning everything, replacing it with negative emotions like jealousy, greed blah blah blah. If only that pandora hadn't frikkin opened that box.

My math teacher used to say that every single person is equal to 1, meaning if you add up all their skills and characters, they always add up to 1. Maybe someone has a 0.9 in looks, but they may have only a 0.1 in everything else and maybe someone has a 0.1 in looks, they're sure to have a 0.9 in some other things. But instead of discovering what their 0.9 is, they end up drooling on someone else's 0.9.

Moral of the day: Just be true to yourself and be yourself, who gives a *** what other think? If they're that judging you shouldnt even bother looking at them. Just focus on finding your 0.9.

PS: Bunnyyyyyyyyyyy, im falling for your writingggggg aaaaahhhhh.
