Quote of The Moment
"It's okay, we can work with this!"
- Deckard Wizard (Bee and Puppycat)
Unfortunately my photograph is a soft copy. I was too lazy to print it out (>‿<) I'll just be putting it here.
Darn, was I that fat?
This was taken when more than 3 years ago. It is also my "best worst photo"... Very embarrassing (>///<)
... We're getting off-topic. (._.)
Anyway, the point of this whole thing is to encourage the youth (that is us) to be ourselves. And I quote Hikigaya Hachiman from Yahari Ore No Seishun Love Come Wa Machigatteiru: "Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don't care."
You see, we all go through that phase in life where we feel awkward and that it's the looks that matter and stuff like that. It's not important whether we start looking in the mirror too much or trying to fit in into a clique or group. What counts is that if we are able to realize our own worth.As it said in Proverbs 12:16, "The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.". When we know that God has created us, when we are prudent, we don't mind what others say or gossip about us because we know that we didn't do anything wrong. Unfortunately, when we are "fools", we go with the flow of this world, even if it's already harmful. There's more to life than trying to be "in" and stuff. After all, there is beauty in everything. Even if you do not see yourself as beautiful, it's just you. Maybe you don't see it because you don't look for it, expecting that this "beauty" is not in you. It's said also in 1 Samuel 16:7, "But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
Who you are now is because of the past. Don't be ashamed of it because it is what helped you be the present "you". In short, be yourself. Embrace what you have become. The past is not a hindrance and a shame, but a trampoline for you to soar higher.
So... That's about it. (^_^) See you guys next time (>_<)/

The Blogmistress
A brief introduction of Her Royal Weirdness
Hello everyone, I go by Cossette— welcome to my blog! I'm a nineteen-year-old Chinese-Filipino law student studying abroad in Australia. I like to obsess over musicals, edgy memes, and general geekery. I spend most of my time sorting through syllabi for my classes, baking cookies, or lurking on Reddit. Since I'm on break from university however, I have also began binge watching lots and lots of shows on Netflix (what's a girl to do, after all?)
I am also that girl who is too emotional for my own good, and has a sad penchant for laughing (at myself, usually). Alas, perhaps my own peculiarity has scared off potential friends, but who cares? Someday, I will find my kin, my madcap ilk. But until then, I'll be sticking around here ┐(︶▽︶)┌

About The Blog
A description of my little corner of the blogosphere
This digital abode of mine was established back in August 2013 as a requirement for my participation in our high school's blogging club. Thus, I scrambled to create one, The Random Thoughts of A Socially-Awkward Optimist— the very website that you are currently viewing. I've long since quit (not to mention graduated from high school), but typing away my thoughts in this blog is rather therapeutic, and I like thinking that perhaps a smile has made its way onto someone's face because of what I write :)
“Sonder” is probably the best word that would describe all reasons why I maintain this blog. The word can be briefly defined as the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own, and through this blog, I wish to be able to satiate that feeling in other people by retelling my anecdotes, thoughts, and rants, and hopefully I would also be able to lift up spirits along the way.
Life moves on and change is constant. But I want to document my experiences somehow: those ugly-crying moments, existential crises, or tears of joy and sadness. Then once change runs its course, we can all look back at these moments and laugh at our own naiveté. And hopefully, I can do just that by typing it all away in this blog.
The Jukebox
Current aesthetic: quiet holiday mornings, the smell of Christmas in the air
A little disclaimer: I don't own nor make money off of any of these songs, it's all just for a little good fun and mood-setting lol
These are the music playing in the blog. I hope you like listening to it as much as I do ◕ ‿ ◕ Simply click on the title of the song, and it will direct you to where I got it ❤
