Para Sa Kanya, Kung Sino Man Siya.
July 23, 2009Sometimes, its not what people think that makes things spiral out of control. Most of the time it is how they express themselves that draws negative notions from people on the receiving end.
Gossip is juicy no doubt, and everyone likes to hear a fruit or two from time to time. But what happens when, unintentionally, the words are twisted beyond the context that the person passing the message meant initially?
Who do you blame when you find out that things are being said which draws attention to you in a completely undesirable way?
Hollywood stars and even celebrity bloggers face things like that. So much so that they are immune to it already.
But I am not.
Because I am not a celebrity.
And I am not a star.
I’m just a 17 year old girl who tries to make the best decisions for herself whenever she is faced with a choice. It may be wrong when I look back in retrospect, it may be right, I’ll never know right there and then. I’m not the kind of person who regrets because whatever I decide for myself is what I feel is the most beneficial to me at that point in time.
Even so, I don’t spout forth malicious words without first attempting to analyze the situation completely by listening to all sides of the story.
There will be more situations like this in the future. This time it may have been unintentional as the message was twisted here and there with additional salt and pepper added in from numerous sources as and when they felt like it.
But when I face this again with the knowledge that it was done with a spiteful purpose some time in the future, whether it be a classmate who can’t stand me, or an acquaintance who doesn’t like me because I didn’t say hi to her sweetly enough when we were first introduced, I know one thing is for sure.
I still won’t be able to take it.
Not then, not now, not ever.
Because in my heart I just can’t believe that people are like that.
Naivety may be beneficial every once in awhile depending on the situation, but this time, it looks like the benefit goes to all of you who dare to take advantage when I give in to you.
Ultimately, right now, I am the fool.
Just remember that when there comes a day that karma reels it’s ugly head, we will see who is the fool then.
