Popularity..

I have never got the popularity material

Since I was a kid until now, at least, I’ve always think myself as someone that hasn’t got it to be popular..
I’ve never enjoyed being on the spotlight, I guess..
For me, being popular means you have to maintain your assets that made you popular..

If you’re popular because your pretty, it means you have to maintain to look pretty all the time..
meaning no bad hair days are allowed, touch ups and powdering your nose every now and then, keeping up with the latest fashion,..

or if you’re popular because you’re smart, it means you have to maintain your scores, always prepared with the best answers whenever the teacher or friends ask about something, loads of courses,..

and if you’re popular in sports, it means you have to maintain your achievements, always be in shape, miss some of the lesson or other time because of sports competitions,..

Those kinda things are just too much for me..
Too much burden..
Too much responsibility..
Or maybe,
I just don’t have the ability to do all that and making excuses about them..
Or..I’m not dilligent enough to do the maintainance

My friends and families, who knows me that well, knows..
Well, by now, you’ll know..
I’m a very laid back..relaxed person..
I just go with the flow, do the right thing, or at least, what I think is right, and try my best with everything that I do..
And let the universe do the rest..
let God decide..

Praying and believing that everything that will turn out is the way that we have to go through..
Good or Bad..

If it’s good, Alhamdulillah..
And be satisfied for all the effort that I’ve gone through
and Whenever things go wrong, which they often do, I won’t be stressed out, panicking and everything..

So, popularity for me..
besides it’s not important..
I’m also not cut for it
Never was, never have been, never am, and never want to..

And I turned out just fine
Perfectly happy with what I have achieved..
No regrets..
