Happy 12.12.12 everyone! I know it's not a special day or whatever but it's a cool date! I watched on the news that a lot of people got married or got together today. Honestly, does the date really matter in the end? It's about the love you create with your partner right? Or maybe it's because it's easier to remember the anniversary dates, I don't know. You get my point, in the end, dates don't matter because you're suppose to live every second like it's your last second! I know, 12.12.12 is still a cool date. Not to mention it's the final repetitive dates until the next thousand years! I wish I did something special today but I didn't. Just another typical day, sigh... Moving on, don't worry. I'm not gonna blog about that.

Last night I was watching Youtube videos of a girl singing covers and my self-esteem kinda went down well because the girl has a good voice, pretty and plays darn well on the guitar. I know you'll probably be thinking, "It's typical." Yeah it's typical but this girl lives in the same city as me and is the same age as me. Somehow it pulls me down because I always compare myself with people at my level, as in, same age and stuff. Well she has 6oo subscribers and that's a lot for a Malaysian youtuber. HAHA. No, seriously, that's a lot. As I watch her videos, I think to myself, "Damn, why can't I sing as good and play a guitar? I wish I was just as talented." I know all of us wish to be just as talented as famous singers, dancers, artists, athletes etc and when we see them in action, our self-esteems are flushed down the toilet. We just want to be as good as people, I'm sorry to be a buzzkill but there will always be someone better than us out there. You can be better than someone but there WILL be people better than you. You have to face that. 

I believe that everyone is talented in something, even if it is something super small and not famous. Regardless, it's still a talent and everyone will find their talent someday. Some discover their talents really late, some really early but I believe that each and everyone of us is good at something. If you're those negative thinkers, at this point you'll probably think, "I don't have a talent and I'll never have one" Well duh, because you keep thinking like that! You need that energy in you to drive yourself to search for your talent. You're not gonna suddenly become a tremendous artist by sitting down and staring at the ceiling stupid. You have to will yourself to look for the talent in you! Okay, if you're talented in something, good for you, I'm glad you found your talent but just remember that talent will only take you so far. (My friend told me this and I found it really inspiring) You know what will take you damn far in life? Hardwork. Hardwork will take you far because you put so much effort into improving your talent and like they all say "Hardwork pays off" Hell yeah it does. 

If someone else's talent pulls you down, don't just sit there.Make it as an inspiration for yourself to search harder for that talent and work super hard when you get it (: Everyone has a talent, common or not. You wanna be a model? Lose some pounds and start giving a shit about your face. You wanna be an awesome guitarist? Go take guitar lessons and practice everyday! If you fail at it, maybe it's not meant for you then you're meant for something else but that doesn't mean you should give up straight away. You want that talent, fight for it. Fail and try again, fail and try again. Be a failure that will never give up (:

Hopefully I'm not off topic but who cares.
