By definition
explain means, “to make (an idea, situation,
or problem) clear to someone by describing it in more detail or revealing
relevant facts or ideas.” Someone that does not care about you and will not
believe you do not deserve this from you. Although it is natural, for most people, to
want others to like them their enemies will not want to even if they hear the
truth about the person. Because of this everyone should embrace their
individuality. There’s a variety of people in the world. Some like blue and
others like red (of course other colors too). If someone does not understand
who you are then they are not supposed to and you should be content with it.
This quote also brings up the topic
of how you should choose your friends. Being in high school it is a struggle
sometimes trying to find people who actually understand you and accept you for
who you are. Once you have found friends who do then you do not need to explain
to them who you are because they should definitely know. No one can control who
is going to like them. Enemies are everywhere and I am certain they are not going
anywhere since there will not be world peace (sorry to kill your dreams). With
that said life shall go on, without explaining.
Hi, Andre! Your post had me thinking a lot about how we as teenagers try so desperately to fit in or be accepted. I really like the fact that you pointed out how we shouldn't have to explain ourselves to others, especially those who do not like us. If we were always trying to explain ourselves to others, I think we would eventually loose our true selves because we would be so worried about making them believe us & we would change our story constantly, & thus changing who we truly are.
ReplyDeleteYou are right my friend as teenagers we are constantly trying to fit in or be the person "everyone likes" but truth is not everyone is going to like us whether we try or not. We should just accept this and move on with our lives. We shouldn't be so bent on making everyone happy or like us because as kristyn pointed out we would eventually loos who we really are to begin with.
ReplyDeleteThis quote really speaks the truth because so many people try so hard to explain themselves to people who don't even care for them. There is no need to waste our time and energy over things that don't matter.Which is something that is really hard for teenagers to understand because they spend all of their time trying to fit in
ReplyDeleteThis is a great quote Andre! Many people think that since they dont fit in or aren't what people expect them to be that they have to act like someone else. We shouldn't have to explain to people why we are the way we are. But us as teenagers we want to be apart of what they call the "popular" groups, but we don't understand that half these people don't really care so we're just wasting our breath trying to tell them.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love this quote and they way you appeal to us teenagers! I really do agree with you that if you have to "explain" yourself to others in a way that forms enemies, eventually people stop caring for you and in reality there are only a few that you can
ReplyDeletereally call "friends".And a true friend doesn't question who you are but rather stands by you because they know "who you are inside". I also enoyed reading your blog because it relates to everyone!
