Having Yourself as a Complex Character

According to Google, Complex Character is having a variety of traits and different sides to their personality. We all know that every person has this kind of personality or attitude. Everyone has a different type of perspective in life. So the question is, "have you ever met a person who seems to be so complex that it is difficult to fully understand him or her?"

Anytime we can meet a new person. We encountered many types of personality. Knowing each other is one of the best things in life. Different perspective, different personality, but has a good heart. Sometimes, we can meet a person that has a bad personality that cause trouble. However, we can also meet a person that you can trust with it. That's why, we always treasure what the memories that we experience with the new or old friends.

The person who seems to be so complex that it is difficult to fully understand is totally ourselves. Why? Because we always change our traits and movements quickly whether it is bad or good. We usually understand others, not our own self. We might be like this, but we are trying to be a better person. Even though, sometimes you don't know yourself. That's why that the complex character is ourselves.

Always look on the Brighter Side

Life is full of unexpected tosses and turns, that sometimes we think that we can't survive it. But little did we know it's just a way of life in making us stronger that would let us face any obstacles braver.

Today, as this day marks 25th of February 2025. I would like to congratulate myself for always looking at the brighter side of life amidst anything. I am grateful for the gift of life that the Almighty creator of Heaven and Earth gave me. I've been existing for 24 years on Earth and learned a lot of things in life that push me to my limits, to seek my greater me. I realized a lot of things and also thanked a lot of the hardships I've been through.

I am praying and hoping that no matter what life brings me tomorrow, I will move forward and do impossible things possible.

Challenging moments that you have right now

Since the pandemic started, we are facing a lot of challenges and problems. Many of us are struggling about what happened in the world. Everyone is adjusting the environment that we have right now. The students don't know how to learn through this way of learning, the modular and the online classes. But if these are the challenges that we are facing now, how can we manage it?

The challenges that I am facing right now is about my studies. Honestly, I don't know if I'm learning or not because I can't deny how difficult to have this kind of learning. Also, I can't control myself from being a lot of fears and weaknesses. I'm not good at public speaking and I am so weak. If I am mad, because of my anger I just want to cry.

But how can we manage it? Just by trusting God. I know that these challenges that we are facing right now is just a test from God. You also have to trust yourself. Be you, if you can't do it now then, just rest.

Life has never been easy

Being an adolescent is not easy to develop your skills and even your personality. As an adolescent, it is a long process to be a responsible adult. We should have many experiences to be a better person in our lives. Everyday we are facing another challenge in life.

As I am facing my current situation as an adolescent, life is never been easy. At first, I'm struggling on how to control myself. I don't know how to limit my limitations in life. As I am a child before, I think life was so easy. By the time goes by, I realized that everything is not that easy. Happiness is just a temporary. But in 18 years that I live in this temporary world, God made me realize that without him we cannot enjoy these things that he made.

As an adolescent, I am slowly strengthening my identity because God gave me wisdom and knowledge to understand these things. Though I'm not that person that has many experiences in life, but I can say that I can handle things with the help of my family, friends and most especially God. I know that I can make mistakes and a lot of things but yet I'm still learning how to control myself as an adolescent.

Adolescence: There is Beauty Within The Storm

Adolescence is a stage of getting to know yourself better and be able to identify what you are up to in life. It is the stage where we start to think about what we like to do for the future basis, to choose a career or path that suits our capabilities and that makes us happy at the end of the day. As an adolescent I consider this stage as a fun ride experience that is mixed with stress and storm, because this stage I faced few challenges that made me strong. Also this made me realize a lot of things in life and what's more important. It may be a roller coaster ride but the experience is full of tough moral lessons that I truly believe will help each one of us to grow to be the best versions of ourselves.

Nostalgia: Looking in the past

Looking in the past has two different impacts on a person. It may be the impact of happiness or sadness.

Some questions made us stop for a moment and we didn't even notice that our lips curve when we hear it.

"What are those things you have done during your childhood that you are not doing anymore?"

For the past years, life gives me so much responsibility that I forgot to do the simple things that I am doing before. During my childhood I used to go outside to play and get wet by the rain. Playing outside while raining is one of the best things that I've done before, but not doing it anymore. Remembering it made me smile, looking at it in my mind made me realize that I once felt genuine happiness. That even a raindrop made my day complete.

Do we truly know ourselves?

What does it really mean to "know yourself?" Every person questioning themselves if they already know who they are. Sometimes, you are standing in front of a mirror and starting questioning yourself "do I know myself?". Do I truly know myself? Am I?

Knowing yourself is you have to understand what motivates you and to know what is your purpose in life. But it is also difficult to understand sometimes. We are changing our moods quickly anytime. Even though we doesn't know ourselves totally, your awareness of your own struggles can help us empathize others. Knowing ourselves is to know what are your strengths and weaknesses in life. To know what good and bad decisions do you make and what do you like and dislikes. We also learned about what passion do we want. I learned these things are because of myself and my experiences in life. From my mistakes, I learned to know what are my limitations. I discovered new things with my friends, families and also meeting a new person. I like what I am now right now. I'm happy about what I am and what I have. Though I've slowly known myself more, but I have a good and memorable life. I am also blessed because I have friends to lean whenever I have a problem. Knowing yourself is you have to take time to know who and what you are.
