Bare souls.

So, today's post is about life skills. the life skills that either you're born with or that you acquire through the years; i would love to do a whole series on the matter, and the first thing i would like to talk about is a life skill that is intriguing to me; and that always leaves dumbfounded to people that posses it; it is a life skill that is rather important but could lead you into hating the whole human race and that life skill is judging characters. the ability to see what's inside people without them saying a word about it and the ability to know the truth from lies, and the ability to be around people that you know their reality rather than what they tell you they are like. and like i said it is a bless and a curse in the same time because; people who have this skill are obliged to see people's souls naked, exposed, and the human soul is a dark place that nobody wants to see but these people who can read into others can see into their dirty souls, and that is not a pleasant thing to know or see.
Judging characters, i have never been so good at doing that, and for some reason i can't really see how people are on the inside, i always treat people and see them in the way they present their selves, and i look no further into their souls to know what they hide or how they actually are. this is like when someone tells you they are not hungry but you know they are and it is obvious that they are but you yourself can't really see it. how stupid is that?? well i don't really think of it as stupid as much as it is a born skill, some people are born with the ability to see beyond the cover that others put on their faces. i just can't figure out how people are like until I've been with them for so long while my friends can know the amount of information that took me a year or so to gather it takes them a talk with that person..seriously, just a talk.
to all of you out there who are good judges of characters : you are so lucky that you can see the insides of people's hearts so that you can be careful on who to be friends with, because, i think it's just good to be able to choose people to be around while knowing for sure that it was the right pick.

Be Your Own CLEOPATRA...

Cleopatra, a name that has stayed through the ages; a name that makes every woman proud to hear, a woman that ruled an empire of the most powerful ones in time alone, and had two of the strongest men in that time, wrapped around her finger. that woman is an example of what the female population is capable of. not with strength or trying to be an equal to men, but just by being herself, a woman, a female, with all her weakness that she embraced and worked with to get exactly what she wanted. and that is a subject that i really like and that i have been meaning to address as soon as i opened my blog and that is : girl power.
I see a lot of girls in my daily life( some of them are my friends) that get abused emotionally by guys.- a guy that is she totally out of his league, way better than him; i get so confused on how she accepts such behaviour from him, so i tend to ask and the answer is always one out of two: i love him so much, but that is not what blows my brains out the answer that confuses me is: he controls me...and here i beg to differ you see i believe in all my mind that girls can and do control boys and we do it with our most powerful weapon: our weakness. i know that u might say that this is BS you're saying and that boys are stronger therefore they control girls but i say that's the point, we girls as the weaker gender , god made our strength in that weakness, we can't snap necks, or punch a nose till it breaks, or break someones leg with a kick, but with one tear we can get whatever we want or with a puppy face we can convince any man to do what we want, and believe it or not, men are really vulnerable to tears, they get confused when they say a woman cry and they try to do anything just to get her to stop; so saying that he "controls" you is completely inaccurate because the truth is you control him you just don't know how to use it.i mean there are a lot of examples of women who concurred the world just by being a woman with all their flaws and weaknesses and my personal favourite is Cleopatra...
we don't need to become like men to control them, the truth is that we need to become more feminine than we already are; love our girlishness, our mood swings, our oestrogen; our hair, our curves, everything that allows us to be the perfect female that we can be; and if we can do that - and we can- every woman will be Cleopatra.

START LIVING

In addition to the fact that the world is getting smaller by the minute there is the fact of new things popping out, every where you look there is a new experience, a new person to meet, a new food to try, and so on and so forth. but if you are a scared, anti-social person like yours truly, you will find all that terrifying, and just to stay comfortable, you will stay in a protected shell, and never come out of it. i should know; because i go through that situation on daily bases, and i know a lot of people do too, I'm always afraid of trying new things, always doing the same old things i do every single day, which is something i don't understand because i get bored very easily, but some how i seem to repeat myself more than i would like to admit. i have panic attacks when i meet a large group of people, that i don't know, like in a wedding or a party; and i hate too much noise, i am like an old lady who's husband just died, and she is hating n everything and everybody. but i have learnt lately- from the lovely blogger Zoe-that i should just say YES, and be more bold in life, and just put myself out there to experiences, and that is what I'm trying to do.

 See the thing is, we are not really afraid of the new things,or trying them, because what you don't know can't hurt you, and what you have never tried before, you will not know how it's going to be until you do.what we really are afraind of is failing, and the look of others if that happened. but you know what: who cares what everybody thinks? if we didn't, no one will. so i started lately on this new project of mine and it is simple, it consists of doing ten things I'm not comfortable doing every day, ten small things, like keeping eye contact and smiling to a cute boy who was smiling at me, or going for a shopping day with your friends without worrying how you will look, or just buying something new to wear, that you would have never even picked out the rack before, and actually wear it. im not saying that we should break the boundries, and jump off a cliff, or rob a bank ( although that would be cool). but just these small controled adrenaline rushes will give you the power you need, that when in the future you want to make a big decision in life, you won't hesitate, and think it through too much, that you lose the opprtunity to do something great, like a job decision in a distant city; or anything else that the hesitation and the fear of stepping out of your comfort zone will ruin for you. we should start living rather than just existing. why should we be so afraid of life when all it takes is just to be a little brave, for the real danger  lies within our heads. stop existing and start living.
