As I am now, I see life to be simple and I try my best to live my life simply with no stress. Sometimes, we tend to carry the burden of things that shouldn’t even matter to us. Overthinking about unnecessary things and just worrying for nothing. This was my life before, but now, I don’t really care much about some stuff.
One thing I know for sure about myself now is that I don’t really care how people treat me, whether you treat me well or not, that’s your own cup of tea. I’ll still do me, regardless. I would say I came this resolve when I finally came to understand that everyone had stuff going on in their lives and sometimes people tend to treat others badly for so many reasons.
Everyday, I step out of my house with an open mind, knowing that anything can happen, be it good or bad. I’ve had so many experiences where I was treated so well by people I didn’t even know and it came as a shock to me.
Sometime last year, I traveled with a colleague to another part of the country for work. We arrived very late but we decided to first go and visit our contact there to inform him of our arrival before going to get a place to lodge. We got to his place, exchanged pleasantries and spoke for a while.
After some time, we decided to take our leave but this kind man insisted we stayed in his house. The most touching part of all this was that at that moment, his house was undergoing renovation but he still managed to accommodate us at the expense of his family. The whole family took us in like we were one of theirs. We stayed there for about two days before taking our leave. Till today, we still keep in touch and help one another in any way possible and I look forward to returning the act of kindness some day.
Talking about bad treatment, I honestly don’t even realise it when someone treats me badly until they come back to apologise to me. Because tell me why I should feel bad about the actions of someone that doesn’t really matter towards me? I don’t. But once someone that matters in my life treats me badly, it hurts me more than anything.
There’s this one experience I had with a close friend of mine a while back and I still think about it till date even though it’s been years now. Not to give specifics, but I met this person during my time in the university and we became very close. We bonded so well and had a lot of good times until this individual started to make fun of me in the presence of others and thought it was funny. Actually, it wasn’t even funny to me and that wasn’t even something to joke about. I felt this persons words were more of an insult and not a joke so I started to slowly detach myself cos it wasn’t healthy. Overtime, I learnt to learnt to let go and forgive cos it wasn’t worth. I came to understand that no one is perfect and forgiving was the best I could do for myself. That affected our relationship a bit but we are good now.
Things are hard for everyone and the least we can do for others as individuals is to be kind to them. Let’s learn to not put our frustrations on others and always treat others the way you wish to be treated.
