There are a lot of things in my mind today. My brain is inundated with random thoughts, confusion, anger, happiness, basically everything you can think of. I hope this blog can act as a tunnel by which I can vent out all these feelings.
I have been contemplating about my life these days and I am trying to evaluate where I stand in this long and seemingly neverending journey. Life is an intricate matter. It is very windy and it is a black hole of obstacles. There are lots of ways to get out of this maze, but only one way would ever be attempted. The choices that we make directly affects the outcome, the end. We will never know whether our decisions are the right ways to go because there is no way of us to try out other ways and relive our lives. Life plays lots of tricks with us. It can be harsh to some. When you think that your journey is smooth and unhindered, it throws a curve ball at you. Curve balls can be good if you hit a home run. On the other hand, they can also be bad if you take this as a third strike out. Granted we are humans, we all have flaws and our journeys will never be utterly smooth. I guess we all just have to deal with life and never give up. I think my life has been pretty smooth for a long time until college, where I really encounter different kind of people and mixed feelings every day. Most importantly, I am really thinking about my future and what I am going to accomplish as a member of the universe. Sometimes I feel completely lost, but I am glad that I have y’all good friends who encourage me to do better and succeed. Well enough about life because the more I talk about it, the more confused I get.
The second thing that is bothering my mind is the word arrogant. What does this word mean? So I looked it up on the dictionary and it says ”A. adj. Making or implying unwarrantable claims to dignity, authority, or knowledge; aggressively conceited or haughty, presumptuous, overbearing. (Used of men, their actions, manner, etc.)” (Oxford English Dictionary) I thought “unwarrantable” means “uncalled for,” but I really wasn’t sure on its exact definition, so again I consulted the dictionary and it says “adj. Having no justification; groundless.” I have heard people calling me “cocky and arrogant” and I am of course a little bit offended because that is human nature. If I ask you to name a person in this world who admits that he/she is cocky, I bet you can’t do it. I don’t like it when people call me arrogant because I don’t think I am “arrogant.” (See definition above) Everyone has flaws; I definitely have a lot of flaws, but I can assure any of you that I am not arrogant nor am I blind to myself being arrogant. I know what arrogant means, and I think if you think that I am arrogant, then you better read the definition again because you are not getting the gist of it. Ask me if I am good at basketball? I will say I am okay. Ask me if I am good at math? I will say I am okay. Ask me if I am good at puzzles? I will say No. I have never said that I am good at anything except driving, which I admit I am being cocky when I say I am good at driving. Also, I do not try to act like I am superior to anyone. In fact, when I meet new people, I always lower my status and respect other people. (After all, my aka IS respecKt) Other than that, I do not act in any ways arrogant according to the Oxford English Dictionary. I am not offended when people accuse me of flaws. In fact, I admire your courage and honesty to point out my flaws. I gladly listen to anyone who kindly offers me reasonable advice that I can act upon. I constantly want to become a better person because I know I will never be perfect and I need to work on a lot of stuff. But I AM offended when people accuse me of some fault blindly, without reasonable justification. I know who reads this blog and I know all of you give me good advice on improving my personality and decisions in general. However, I know that some of the people who don’t read my blog talk a lot of shit and I think they should open their eyes and see for themselves what reality is presenting. One of my good friends once told me, “If you hate someone, it is because you don’t know him/her enough.” I think this is a very true statement. I have a hard time understanding it and acting upon it, but I do agree with it 100%. There are definitely different sides of people and you just need to take time understanding them. So for you haters out there, here is a quote you should look at and think about.

Enough said… for now.
