You Don't Have to Try so Hard

I've always thought that trying so hard will make everything fine; that it'll make everything goes according to plan. In fact, my motto before was try and try until you succeed. Okay, until now.

Well, there's really nothing wrong with trying so much to achieve what you want. It's good because it makes you eager for your goals. But sometimes, you know, you don't have to try so hard. Sometimes, trying so hard leads us to expectations and failures. I'm not trying to say that you shouldn't try hard. My point is, know when to try hard. Know what your goals are first; know your aim; know the main reason of your moves before giving in to something so much. Why are you trying so hard? Ask that to yourself.

Is it because you want to pursue that dream? Well, go for it!

or

Is it because you want to belong? Hmm. Let me thing about that. And you should, too!

I don't see any problem of wanting to belong or to please others. A problem will only blow if you let others heat up your emotions, hence, ruining your self-worth. Once you let them affect you, it won't stop. It will eat you until you're messed up. Don't focus and bother so much time on what others are telling you. Who cares if you don't wear makeup everyday? You still look pretty anyway! Who cares if you don't have the best and most expensive clothes to wear? You still look stunning on that tee and ripped jeans! 

This is the perfect idea to describe my outfit here 'cause I didn't bother to plan an outfit like I used to and I looked haggard after so many days without enough sleep. Who cares? As long as I look okay to my family and friends then it's fine. And as long as I feel okay the way I see with my own eyes then just go with it. The secret is, if no one sees your beauty, learn to appreciate yourself because that is where it all starts. I just want to share a song of Colbie Caillat that inspired me to write this. So here it goes:

You don't have to try so hard

You don't have to, give it all away

You just have to get up

You don't have to change a single thing

Wait a second,

Why, should you care, what they think of you

When you're all alone, by yourself, do you like you?
Do you like you?

Take your make-up off

Let your hair down

Take a breath
Look into the mirror, at yourself

Don't you like you?

Cause I like you

Sorry for my silly pose here. I'm not gonna do this again swear :( Did I make sense? Anyways, I hope you get something from my post.

Let me know if you did! ♥
