I don't like how we all think that nothing is ever enough. I don't like how we always want more. I don't like how we focus on what we don't have. But hey we're human so I guess it's unavoidable.

I don't like how we are selfish. There are so many people suffering in this world, and yet we worry about ourselves. We worry about our television serials and handphones and all that, when there are those who worry about when they would be eating their next meal. I don't get why we do it, but we cannot help it, no matter how hard we try. The thought just comes into our heads without us wanting to. It's a natural feeling. And I feel bad whenever I feel it.

I don't like comparing myself to others, but sometimes I cannot help it. And when I do, I don't think of myself as having enough. I want what they have. It's like even I can make a huge issue out of a minute thing, but I don't understand why I'm so fussed up about it. I already do know people who have it worse than myself, but I cannot help feeling the way I do.

I don't like it when we become blinded by the media and fall prey to it. We think the ideas they portray are what we should be. But who are they to define and tell us what is perfect? I don't like how what they portray has influenced many people into thinking that they aren't beautiful just the way they are.

I don't like how we think money is a priority when in fact it doesn't exactly have a value. It's value changes, not like those natural treasures like gold and silver. I don't like how many people get influenced by money, and all they want to do is earn more. No matter whether a certain action is right or wrong, some are willing to do it so that they can earn more. I don't want to be blinded by money. I just want enough to get by. But I guess that is easy for me to say, especially since I am not even earning for myself yet.

I don't like how women are being objectified these days. I was looking at a friend's tumblr, and I came across this picture: http://the-unpopular-opinions.tumblr.com/post/5557922080. I loved how even though the women of the past covered themselves with large coats and stuff, men still found them beautiful. I don't like how there are women today who go round scantally dressed and how there are men go find something else to do with them. I don't like how women are being abused. And worst of all, I don't like how many of the women or even young girls are falling prey to many things.

I love how even with the hustle and bustle of the world today, I can still find time to be with my lovelies. Although it's difficult to make time, at least we make an effort to a few times a year, and to me that's already a lot. I like it when we don't even talk to each other, but sit side by side, and still have an awesome time.

I love how we can still preserve many of our natural beauties. Like those volcanoes, glaciers, and lakes. I love how God is such a genius when it comes to forming such landmarks. The way the whole world works, how everything is interlinked with each other, and everything has a reason and purpose. I like how natural processes such as the formation of coral reefs lead to the creation of something really extravagant. It's important that we preserve all these wonders before they disappear.

I love how my spirituality becomes a pillar of support for me. It is like a guide when I don't know the answer. It frames what I'm supposed to do, and I know that there's always Him I can rely on when I'm in my toughest times. When I pray, it's like it's just me having my talking/thinking time with God. He knows all my worries, and insya'Allah He'll give me the strength to get through the challenges I face.

I love how I am blessed with my family. Each person in my family, they have something special about them. Without any of them, the picture would never be complete. Without their support, I wouldn't be where I am. Without their advice, I wouldn't have gotten through many of the difficulties I faced.

I love how little kids bring joy to many people. Their innocence itself is beautiful. They can run around and play like there is no worry in the world. I love watching my little cousins play around; seeing them having fun just makes me feel lighter. I miss being a kid.

I love how there are people in this world, who would risk their lives to save others. Like how whenever there is a natural disaster, there'd be people from various Red Cross Societies or even just ordinary people who volunteer themselves to help make the lives of victims easier. Some even go all out, beyond the call of duty to ensure that everyone is well taken care of. It shows that there's still humanity in a world with many conflicts.

I love how experiences change you for the better. I love how during those experiences, you learn more about yourself, some good points while others may be negative. I love how we become stronger after every challenge we pull through. I love how more bonded we become when we complete a certain project. I love how the memories we create will forever be cherished. I love how we make new friends and tighten the bonds of old friendships through these 'adventures'. I love how even though there were times that we could have been doing something else, we spent it on something we actually believe in.

I love how we daydream. I love how we have an imagination. I love how we're all unique but yet all still beautiful.

Okay this is a very long post! But I think I enjoyed myself and I feel better after writing it all out. :)
