Reintroduce yourself

Some people said, “Don’t judge me from the past. I don’t leave there anymore.”

True. People change. I, myself know how much I have changed although change doesn’t always means progress. So, I personally don’t really like it when people look at me the same way they see me last year or even three months ago. People change. Everyone changes. We change our mind. We change our intention, we change the way we dress, we change the way we speak and so on.

But what’s lacking actually is, we need to know what have changed. What have we edited or improvised? Sometimes we have made a conscious decision in making a change. But sometimes, we just don’t behave like that any more. We first need to notice it.

Have you ever felt like you don’t know yourself anymore? That is because you didn’t pay enough attention to your own body and soul. Don’t let yourself to be the last person to notice the change. Why? Because you will be in time when people treat you differently than they usually do, and you get upset about it. Then, you start to whine and complain on how much people had change but little did you realize that the one who make them change is you. You blame everyone but your own self.

Ever heard of a phase saying, “ If you want to change the world, begin with your own self”? Yup. IF you notice anything surround you behave differently, don’t forget to evaluate the one in the mirror.

But that is not what I want to focus on. I want to write about introducing yourself. Remember how i said that we actually change very often? Just don’t expect people to immediately recognize. You need to bring the attention. Tell them who you are now. For example, If you used to love coffee, and now not anymore, tell them. OR if you were before a social person but now you want to stay in your own world, tell them. If you were strong and now, are feeling very weak, tell them.

People will make assumptions. They will assume that you are the old you. But no one knows that you actually are having a tough moment and you aren’t that strong anymore, in which you need some support. Therefore, tell them. Yes, you wish people are sensitive enough to notice, but their world is much more than just you.

So, this post is for everyone who are going through hardship in their lives and had changed something in themselves. And also who wanted other people to know and understand what is in their heart. By all means, tell the world. Speak up!

Reintroduce yourself.
