Fights Posted at 11:20 PM 0 comments (+) Fights. Sometimes I really wonder if it's a blessing to have the "ability to see from both sides/ perspective". You know, whenever an argument or debate arises between (more commonly) two people, you tend to choose a side, particularly your friend's. Sometimes it is even to the point of getting involved in the argument just to defend the side that you're supporting. Sometimes you'd even come up with ridiculous excuses just to turn the situation to your(or your friend's) favor. After all that's what friends are for right?
Well sadly not for me. Or rather not entirely. I'm a practical person. I like to analyze the situation before coming up with a conclusion, no matter how obvious the answer may be. I just prefer to come up with my own interpretation of the situation then choose a side (or neither). I honestly think that is fair. I mean come on, it is fair. I'm not being biased. How is that a bad thing? Sadly, the bad part is when your friends starts doubting your friendship due to these "analysis".
Simple example. ABC is your friend and he/she gets into an argument with DEF, who is just someone you know but not close to. When ABC tells you his/her side of the story, most probably you'd be on their side. But after hearing DEF's side of the story, you start looking outside the picture and conclude that ABC was actually in the wrong. As a friend, you try to break it down nicely to him/her (explaining that there was a miscommunication or whatever) but ABC just insists he/she is right. Now, knowing ABC's attitude (and temperament) you are sure that the one in wrong is really ABC and being the nice friend that you are, you try to advice him/her to not be so negative and just accept that he/she is wrong. But of course the stubborn ABC would still not accept it.
And that's where hell breaks lose.
Well, we all know what's going to happen after that I'm sure. Thing is, does being a friend mean that I have to side with you in every situation? I don't think so. If I know you're in the wrong, as a true friend I should correct you, and you should just accept it.But instead you throw words like "hypocrite", "backstabber" and "self-righteous" at me. Woah, self-righteous?! REALLY?! Is it that hard to admit that you are wrong? It only gets harder if you make a big deal out of an initially small argument. I'm not trying to be self-righteous. I'm just being fair and well you were the one that asked to share my opinion about the situation in the first place. So why get offended by it?
Anyway this is just my take on this sort of fights. I may come out as a bitch in this situation, but I'm just trying to voice out my opinions. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'm only human after all.

Here's to a new start Posted at 4:32 AM 0 comments (+) Fickle minded. I am extremely fickle minded. One moment I'll be asking myself if I want to re-start blogging and next I'll be listing out the reasons why I shouldn't be doing so. And if I do want to start blogging again, what is my url going to be? Always asking myself the same questions.

So here I am, using an old blog (url) which has been around for quite some time (since 2007). I think I'll be deleting the older posts, now that I'm 19 and supposedly more mature. I honestly think that some of my (way) older posts were meant to be in my diary, not for the whole world to read. Ah childhood. Anyway, I'll be reorganizing everything again and hopefully I'll not change links or suddenly stop updating only to update a few years later. Hopefully.
