Shadows

Shadows come in different shapes and sizes, depending on the external factors. Always, we are able to see the people around us from a different angle and always, we fail to see ours instead. As a listener, we hear dozens of stories, be they the unspeakable or the opposite; as an advisor, we share the opinions of ours, hoping it can at least untie the dead knot in many; as a person, we need helps at times, especially when we are trapped within the world we can never imagine. When we are to say that shadows are our reflection in which they are telling us who we really are, note that it changes, just like how our roles vary from one situation to another; when we are being told that we are worthless, fight back and prove to those who never have faith in us, that we are not who they think we are as it can only be determined by our doings and not the words from their lips; when we are hypnotized by the perspectives of others and our low self-esteem that we are useless, it is time to wake up and take a good look at ourselves in the mirror, to recall the past and to change the future by alternating our current thoughts. Understand the shadows and we shall interpret our lives better, as each shadow has its very own story to tell, where we link them up all together before we are to discover who we really are.
