Adapting

A picture worth a thousand meanings. An overrated idiom.. So does words and actions.. They are all open to a thousand and one interpretation.. Ecspecially when u r living in a ‘caring’ society where everything matters; the way u walk, the way u say things, the way u eat, whom u r with, what u r wearing, ur voice so on and so forth..
So, maybe, MAYBE it is not about who u really are.. MAYBE it is all about how u bring and conduct urself in the society.. In the process, u still can be the true you.. Changing shall not be at the expense of ur own trueself or identity.. Be proud of who u r.. But BEAR in mind that LIKE IT OR NOT, “di situ bumi dipijak, di situ langit dijunjung” or “masuk kandang kambing mengembek, masuk kandang kerbau menguak.” Be moderate and humble urself. Dont be a radical because it may ridicule YOU.. DO NOT OVERREACT! Stay cool and remain calm..
U know that smthing is wrong smwhere when pairs of eyes are staring at u.. Do not simply snap and DO NOT conviniently convince ursef tat “NOTHING IS WRONG WITH ME BUT THERE IS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THEM.” But, DONT BE TOO COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR SELF-ASSURANCE.. That may not always be the case.. Sometimes, u may realize it urself that u r very annoying but u REFUSE TO ADMIT THAT U R IRRITATING.. Perhaps, u just could not careless.. So, if this is the case, DO NOT GRUMBLE or WHINE or NAG when ppl around u are STARING… Take it as a ‘DESERVING CREDIT.’ U get wat u want what. So, oklah tu..
But, if ppl are laughing or smiling sheepishly or staring at u for an unknown reason, so OBVIOUSLY they are insane..
To adapt urself to ur surrounding isnt easy.. Any change for that matter wdnt b simple. So, take it easy.. Do it step by step. “Alah bisa tegal biasa.”
