Honesty

It is really easy to say things to other people but it is also easy to say it without meaning it. We all had this moment when someone asks you what you think about her/his new shirt and you don't like it but decide that a white lie never hurt anyone. That is a problem. We are too afraid of hurting someone or, even worse, getting hurt. This leads to us lying to other people instead of trying to be honest. By lying to other people you might even end up lying to yourself. You can't always satisfy the people around you and sometimes it is better for them to actually here what you think.
By being honest you might end up having people disliking you but who would want a friend who is two-faced and doesn't actually like you. However, there is a line between being honest and being rude. Being honest is talking to the person you have a problem with so you can sort it out and move on. Being rude is telling that person you don't like him without giving him a chance to change or explain himself. Even though someone walking up to someone and tell them you have a problem with something they do might hurt them in the end you might be able to learn to live with each others differences and become friends.
We often speak before thinking and that is what hurts people not being honest itself. There are always a nice way to put it and it is important to understand the value of the choice of words. It makes a big different and by choosing words carefully you can save yourself from hurting someone.
Sometimes you might have to hear something that doesn't please you but that is what makes you stronger. If we always walked around happy we wouldn't know what happiness was. Sometimes we just need to get a bit hurt. We shoulnd't speak without thinking but when we do at least we say what comes to our mind. I'm not saying that we should walk around and say whatever we think but we should at least be honest to each other. If you feel something, express it. Don't go around and think that people can read your mind, it's impossible. If you are angry at someone, tell them why. By doing that we can probably avoid a lot of problems and also live in a world where people actually know what's going on in other peoples lives. If you don't mean what you say, keep it to yourself.

Dear my unborn child

For almost nine months I've been carrying you. When I learnt that I was going to become a mother I was excited, confused and scared at the same time. How would I be able to bring a child into this world where there is so much hatred, war and horrible things happening. Little did I know. I wasn't bringing this child into a world with all that. I'll be bringing you into a world where we are fighting a war against something this world hasn't experienced before. You will be born into a world where hundreds of people even thousands die on a daily basis because of a virus, something unstoppable that has created a world where people are afraid of walking side by side. Where someone coughs and everyone around him moves away. People can't leave their houses without the fear of getting ill. You will be born into a world where no one goes safe. I always dreamt about holding you in my arms for the first time. Your grandparents meeting you and my friends and family seeing you f...

The average but enjoyable Gatsby

I don't do film reviews, not because I don't like sharing my experience but because I usually don't have much to say about the films. However, after just finishing second year I feel more confident and I also actually have opinions about the Great Gatsby so I hereby introduce my first film review. I finished reading The Great Gatsby about 2 months ago and when I read it is was only for my own sake which meant that I probably didn't pay as much attention to the details as I would have done if it was for school as many people had too. However I think the film managed to stay quite accurate to the book. There were scenes in the film that probably could have been made shorter and some needed more explanations to make the audience understand what they actually contribute. I guess this is a problem with all film adaptations of books. It is impossible to get all the details in the book to fit into a film, especially when films nowadays very rarely are longer than 2 hours a...

Our lives exposed online

I am born in the generation where people don't know what lives were without colour TV, a computer in every home and internet. Some of us might remember when you couldn't be on the phone at the same time as you were online but to be honest, the only reason why I know about it is because my older siblings have told me about it. This has created a society for my generation where we communicate with people all around the world and often with people we don't even know. I know many of us like to think that we are friends with everyone on facebook but quite frankly, we don't. There are a lot of people we haven't talked to since primary school or people we just have on facebook because we enjoy stalking them. This creates a problem we often don't think about, what we put online is not just for us and our friends. It is for everyone we have on facebook and often other people. We also easily forget how the things we put online can be saved and spread by others and soon ...
