True Colours

All I want is someone who discovers and embraces my true colours, encourages my strength, and accepts every bit of my weaknesses.

I know that to strangers, sometimes i appear to be the kind of person who's rather awkward and hard to express her feeling, and I'm certain that i'm not the only one in this world. But to my family, friends, and those closest to me, they know that i'm insane. And deeply inside, I am a warm-hearted and easy-going person even though i often catch myself overthinking stuffs that are just impossible. My mind can be complicated at times and it wanders a lot. It's not a bad thing though, cuz it means i'm not short-minded, doesn't it? ;)

One important thing that i know i gotta do when i have kids one day (See? My mind starts to wander so far already, huh?), is to always encourage, appreciate, and tell them to express their ideas freely, 'cause i don't want them to be introvert and bound by their surroundings. It was only one week ago when i watched this family-comedy-genre movie called "Parental Guidance". It's somewhat inspiring to see that the mother always boost their imagination, for example, in drawing, and never discourage them by telling "it's awful" even though the picture is really really bad. (The "imaginary friend" doesn't make sense, though). But i'm not telling that this is the rightest way to nurture children. For me, suitable compliments is essential to encourage, but constructing critics are also vital. Well it's nice and worth-watching to take away your stress for a while, and especially engaging because it compares different styles of nurturing children.

Then, what I want to emphasize in this post is to not be discouraged. Each of us has our strength and weakness. And people often shun away because of what they lack, but they never really give themselves chances to discover, let alone, enhance their potential. So starting from today, let's stop looking down on ourselves and be motivated 'cause life is not forever!
