Humans are weird. Our emotions are weird. We tell someone to never call us up again, and every time the phone rings or we get a text, we hope that it's them. We tell people we love them when we're not sure of it and we break things off with people because we get scared. We tell someone that we are their friend and forget to be there for them when they need us the most. I could write about every flaw there is in us. I think all of us know we have more flaws than perfection. We're perfectly imperfect.
I've been through a roller coaster time myself. I've been the best and the worst version(s) of myself in the past 10 months and it's kind of fascinating when life tests you out, you get to see parts of you that pretty much terrify you as well.
A few days back, I asked this question on reddit.com which went like this, "When did your perspective about the world around you change?" I got some pretty fascinating answers, you can have a look for yourself.
Perspective is a broad term. It's so different for everyone. No two people can have the same perspective about anything. Everyone has a different train of thought and yet most of us can understand each other and that is a beautiful thing. Communication is such a powerful thing that most of us take it for granted. For all you know there might be an alien species out there in the universe somewhere where they don't know how to communicate and are just blankly staring at each other. Kind of an awkward situation, heh?
I believe that the outcome of every situation we've been through or will be going through in the future depends on our perspective of it. Many situations that I've been through ended badly because I looked at it in a negative light. I either thought of myself as never good enough to do something about it, or I looked it as life knocking me down again, when I know I should've looked at it positively, as an opportunity to change and grow.
Life is going to knock us down and it's going to get worse as we grow older. What matters more is our will to fight back. Our courage to say "fuck you" to whatever life throws at us. I know that in the end, we might just weigh our lives by the number of times we've been sad and happy and we might just remember the happier times, and maybe the number of times you stopped being sad would decrease if you just changed your perspective about it. It'll change if instead of being sulky about something, you did something about it. Instead of being stuck up on something, you get out of it and stop giving a fuck about it. It's immensely hard, I know. But we're much stronger than we realize.
Humans have been blowing their own goddamn minds (not literally) since a really long time. A century back, we would have never thought of us going to the moon, having super fast transport, having a cure for most of the diseases, having an amazing social network, etc etc etc. It's taken us a lot of time, and a LOT of change in perspective to reach where we are today.
Believe me when I say this,honey. Most of us only exist, it's about time we took a hold of our life and started living it. Maybe a little perspective shift is all you need. Think about it. Explore, discover, grow.
