Winning Formula in Life:

I wouldn't say that I am successful in life seeing that I'm only 18 and absolutely nowhere near the success that I yearn for. I am not popular. I am not funky. I don't have a best forte. But on my best days, I am confident and comfortable to be in my own skin. And that, I feel is the winning formula in life.

So what if people say "Hey Vilvian, your work sucks. You need to put in more effort." "Hey Vilvian, you are so fucking fat." Really, so what? Are their comments going to rip me apart? Are they going to turn from words into butcher knives and come after me? I say no. Words are nothing. Sure, they might be powerful. But definitely not powerful enough to kill. People can say all they want about how ugly I am or how fat I am, but really, this is still ultimately me. And if I can't even be comfortable about myself enough to not let their comments get to me, then I definitely should die.

Some people read that as denial. No. I am sorry but I don't have to live in denial. When people say I suck, or when I am fat... I learn from their comments. I don't get affected. But I learn. Which is another extremely important aspect to faring well in life. If someone gives you lemons, make lemonades. If someone gives you bad comments... Well, do better! How do you think people learn? Through bad comments of course!

If everyone else is just going to sing your praises ALL THE TIME, then how the hell do you think you are going to learn? Through... I don't know... Singing more praises about yourself? No. Someone has got to make you see the lights. Someone has got to tell you how badly you sucked in order for you to learn how to be a better you. And if that someone has to be mean and blunt, so be it. Suck it up or die.

The world is harsh like that. You either shape up or you fail. Be confident, be comfortable about yourself, be open-minded to changes. This will help you go far in your life.

Toodles.
