Hidden.

Why do people assume?
Why do people jump to conclusions?
Why do people talk badly about others?
Why do people yearn for power and feeling superior?
Why do people tolerate rude and disrespectful people in their lives?

There are so many WHY questions.
Bottom line is: People crave for the juicy gossip.
People want to seem superior, powerful and seek attention when they talk about others, humiliate others, put others down.
People don't know when to stop, they don't understand what "crossing the line" means.
People think they're always right, ALWAYS, no doubt, and always strive to convince others that they know what they're talking about.
THIS WORLD IS FULL OF IGNORANT, COLD-HEARTED PEOPLE who do not think before they speak nor do they take others' feelings into consideration.

What can someone do?
There's not much one can do to completely stop all the hate, rumors, and gossip whether it's about themselves or others because there's always a chain reaction once someone opens their mouth. Also, it's hard to trace down who started the horrible and negative comments about a person especially if they're HIDDEN behind a computer screen which is like their barrier from reality, their barrier that allows them to feel superior and all high and mighty. BUT, there's so much YOU can do in order to keep moving along, keep going strong.

Regardless of what people say about you, regardless of what you hear, it's ultimately YOUR choice to listen, to take what they say to heart, to just brush it off and move on, to let it get the best of you, to say something. CLICHE, but it's true, you really do have that choice. I'm not here to tell you how to live your life, I'm just here blogging the night away. But I'd say that, you KEEP YOUR HEAD UP, KEEP MOVING FORWARD, and don't let a single word get to you. Because YOU ARE YOU. YOU KNOW YOU THE BEST. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE, YOU KNOW YOUR LIFESTORY, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE FACED. No one else does regardless of what they say. YOU KNOW YOU like no other. NO ONE can tell you who you are. NO ONE can tell you what to do, how to live. NO ONE can narrate your life. NO ONE knows every little detail. PEOPLE SEE what you show them, but in the end, YOU don't just see who you are, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. SO if people are saying false things about you, F O R G E T them, because they're clearly making themselves look foolish by saying things that are unreal and definitely not true. WHAT DO THEY BENEFIT?! NOTHING, except feeling powerful, and making themselves feel good about themselves. They can feel that "power" but never let them become "powerful" over you. YOU ARE, a strong, independent individual who should not let anyone control your life, nor allow them to manipulate you. Don't let their spiteful and hateful words get the best of you especially if they're false and stupid. Don't let rumors and unwanted information change who you are, what you believe in, and how you want to live. In the end, it's your choice to let it get to you or not.

Your choice to BE YOU, or be who everyone else wants you to be.
