I wished I had the chance to say this as I graduated from high school.

I don’t know if you were brought up in such an environment, whereby “persuasion is key”, it doesn’t harm to AT LEAST respect people’s answer.

I especially hate it when people doubt my given answer.

For example (please assume that questions are being asked by people, and answers are from me) : “Have you eaten yet?” “Yes, I have.” “Yeah right. What did you eat?”

It infuriates me to the core that I have to tolerate such stupidity, and waste my time when it could have been spent answering more answerable questions.

Why must I tell you what have I eaten? I DO NOT OWE YOU.

Another example (also, please assume that I am being raped to death by stupid questions) : “Would you like to join us tonight?” “No, you guys go ahead and have fun.” “Come! Why don’t you want to come? Why are you so anti-social?”

I’d rather be anti-social than risk my life of tolerating irritating questions.

For each time I say no, PLEASE RESPECT MY NO. I do not owe you anything. Not even a follow up WHY to your questions.

Persuasion and reluctance do not build friendships.

I do not need to have thousands of friends to even know how friendships are being built.

Thanks to Facebook notifications on your birthday, it’s probably the only time when some people in your list of friends only ever talk to you. And by that, I mean wishing you.

I may not be close to certain people from my friends’ list who wish me a happy birthday, but I like to thank them personally, like how they personally came to my wall to wish.

Although, it’ll be easier if one chooses to go the easy way out by updating his/her status by thanking everyone who wished him/her in one go.

But I think that is ungrateful.

I know it’s your birthday and all but no harm having the slightest decency to thank every person personally instead.

Not seeking for acknowledgement. But just wondering if you are even grateful that people take the effort to wish you in the first place.

You don’t see people tagging you and other people in a status, who share the same birthday as you, and wishing (all of) you a happy birthday in one go.

To me, art is in my blood. It’s everything.

And it infuriates me and hurts me altogether that people do not take it seriously, and how they say that it bears no credence to society, let alone this world we live in.

Art is a form of expressing yourself when you cannot put it in words. It is freedom.

Art allows people to expand their creative thinking and most importantly, allows people to be who they truly are and not just another individual who lives on routines and schedules alone.

Art may not be many people’s forte. But I believe it plays a huge role in every soul. It actually releases the inner us and changes the way we think - systematically.

Be it dancing, music, painting, drawing, photography, writing, etc.

You don’t just go around saying that only people with no direction in life pursue art.

You end up being the laughing stock for being someone who has zilch creativity.

And art is not where you copy off someone’s hard work and do the exact same thing. Yes, it is not worth being pissed over copycats but you just cannot help but feel that how much effort and time people put into busting their butts off just to come up with an idea. It takes a lot of imagination and creativity. Not copying the exact same thing and expecting others to think that you are a natural.

Stop thinking that owning the most expensive camera in this planet will allow you to take better photographs, and the fact that you will be better at photography.

If you were to give the most expensive camera, and in a general consensus, the most expensive would probably be the best; to an amateur, do you honestly think he/she would take fantastic photographs?

You cannot even capture a ‘moment’. You take photos with your DSLR, but honestly, other people could take better photographs even with just their mobile phones.

And you have the cheek to call yourself a “photographer”. You are NOT a photographer. Actual photographers with talent do not brag about always wanting the most expensive camera in the world because it is the best, and it will take better photos. You will in fact, make full use of what you have now and be better at it before you go on with the more expensive stuff.

Though if you have all the money in the world that you cannot seem to finish spending, by all means, go for your lives. But stop trying to imply that you will take better photographs. You will not, rich or poor.

You take a blur/distorted photo of a car. That is not photography. That is a (blur/distorted) photograph you took of a car. You take a blur/distorted close-up photo of a flower. That is not macro photography. That is a (blur/distorted) photograph you went close to capture. Big difference, ya know?

The bigger joke is water marking your ugly photos. I don’t care what you want to do with your photos but it is altogether laughable and infuriating that you think you are good (when you are clearly not) that you watermark your photos. As if your “photography” is so worthy to be stolen off from.

Grow up. Learn to freaking walk first before you run.

If only we all lived in a land called ‘Equalia’, where everyone is equally good at every damn thing.
