Take a look at yourself before criticizing

Bob Dylan quoteLady Gaga performed in SuperBowl and people on social media criticized her appearance. I haven’t read exactly what they were but it wasn’t very nice. She handled it very well by saying she likes her body the way it is. Did these negative people even watch her performance? Celebrities always gets criticized as soon as they put on some weight or they get older. I really don’t envy them one bit. Some people have a weird sense of body image. It’s no wonder since all you see in the media are perfect looking people. Those who criticize others probably think they’re so perfect themselves. It’s so easy to write negative things online behind a user name.

You should really look at yourself before you criticise others. That’s what I would like to say to those few who were mean to me about how I looked like. They didn’t even have the guts to say it straight but instead pretended to be nice. I don’t know if it was a bad or a good thing that they didn’t say it but I know they were thinking it. I didn’t get friends because I wasn’t good enough to them. Who choses friends by their appearance anyway? As a teen you’re more sensitive about these things. I wouldn’t care now what people think of me. I’m not here for them, I’m here for me. It’s because I’m female and people think I should act like one. I don’t want to be like everyone else. You can’t change your appearance and your personality. You can only be yourself. No one should change for anyone. If people can’t except me for who I am and how I look like than too bad.

It’s strange that females have to look perfect all the time but men can be as fat or unattractive as they can and no one says anything. If you don’t wear make-up or spend money on clothes, you’re no woman at all. Women are supposed to look nice and not say anything. They should pleasure men and live their lives on their terms. But that’s not reality. Real people should look real and not like Barbie dolls. That’s where these negative people get their motivations from. A fantasy world that only exist in their minds. If you’re beautiful on the outside, how about on the inside? If your ugly on the inside than there’s no point of being good-looking. Luckily there are people out there who are both but that’s a rare gift. There’s always gonna be criticism no matter what but you just have to live with it. You can only have confident in yourself and not let it affect you. When you have that, negative comments bounces off you easily.

Heard your voice in my head

black and white train track

Heard your voice in my head

I tell you a secret

I heard your voice in my head

It was soft and hot

Your words made me going

I only know your first name

But I can’t lie I feel something

I heard your voice through my ear phones

It’s the way you talk and the words you say

I don’t know if you’re even real

I’m tempted to write you but I don’t know if I should

The fiction is better than the reality

We’re in different places and in other phases

I still hear your voice in my head

The sounds and your laugh makes me want to be there

You don’t even know about me so why could I

Heard your voice in my head and maybe that’s the closest I can get

There are other who does too so why should you care

Tremble in the cold

Finally some snow,  Jan 2016

Living in a cold climate country, it’s obvious other people who comes to visit think it’s always like that. This winter it’s been quite mild actually. It’s only once in a while we have minus celsius. I don’t what it is today but it’s about -10 I think. Now that is cold. You tremble if you don’t put enough of warm clothes on. You see young people going out with their sneakers and bare ankles. But in the winter you should be more reasonable than fashionable. That’s what the problem with the world. There’s too many designers who design clothes that are more suitable in a warm climate. That kind of clothes doesn’t suit here and yet youngsters get influenced by that. Sometimes even kids wear too little. What are those parents thinking about anyway? If I had a child, I would care about how they dress in the winter.

When you live in a country like Finland, you have to dress for the occasion and not the way what’s fashionable. Even Finns complain about the cold weather which is strange. There’s always been 4 seasons. Cold weather shouldn’t be anything unfamiliar. I don’t see them complaining about the hot weather. It must be very difficult to buy warm clothes. There’s a lot of fashionable winter clothes to buy. The weather shouldn’t control people’s lives. If they would only be smart enough to know what to wear during the cold days. It’s just an excuse to say they can’t go outside because of the temperature. Fresh air hasn’t harmed anyone. You don’t have to stay outside for hours if you don’t want to but staying inside because of the weather is ridiculous.

Even if winter is my favorite season, I still like warm weather. Wearing many layers of clothing is like wrapping and unwrapping a present everyday. But it’s also nice to go out without a jacket. Trembling in big amounts isn’t very nice. No matter how much I wear, there are always times I get cold. Freezing your toes is the worse. It feels like you lose all the feeling in them. Fingers are the first to go. Maybe I don’t move enough or I have a weak blood circulation. It can also be because I froze my fingers when I was a child. I went out without gloves in the freezing cold when we were skiing in Lapland and when I came in, it felt like I had million needles and pins in my fingertips. I couldn’t touch anything without feeling tingling. It was awful. I got sensitive fingertips after that and even working with the oven scared me because I was nervous of burning them on the baking tray. Surprisingly I’m not as nervous as I was with the oven anymore.

When I see people walking outside in the cold without gloves and headwear, I shudder. I couldn’t walk in the cold like that. I would freeze my ears and fingers off. I get a headache as soon as the cold wind hits my head. Having read ears is not a pretty sight. It’s better to feel warmth than trembling. There’s no such thing as bad weather, only wrong clothes. It’s a Swedish proverb. In English it means.

“Any weather is tolerable as long as you have the right clothing.”

People should stop complaining about the cold. Put warm clothes on and your problem is solved.
