call it what you want

We live in a judgmental world. What we did, what we said, what we wear… All of these going to be judged by the people around us. Some people said that only stupid judge others. But still we can’t escape from doing the same thing. In this cold world, idioms don’t judge a book by its cover can’t be used anymore. Because the cover does matter. If you don’t have a look like Carly Rae or Taylor Swift, you can’t be a famous artist even you have a great voice or super talented. Same thing goes if you have higher qualification on paper. For me, being smart does not necessarily you have to act like one. But society looks at the smart people by their own definition which means you have to dress up nicely, speak intellectual language, your writing must have zero grammatical error or in the simple words, you have to be perfect in everything. Yes, no one in this world is perfect, but still they’re expecting you to be at least better than any other average human which for me is quite unrealistic since smart people are human too.

Something that I got a lot is when people meet me outside the real world and they’re asking me about what I do or which level I’m studying now. Then, when they get the answer, I can see their surprising look because I’m not sure either I look too younger than my age or I just wearing shirt, jeans and slipper and looks like someone that grad high school with bad grades. This thing doesn't only happen to me. Do you still remember a girl named Amalina that used to be a phenomenal in our country because of her intelligence? Yup. She’s being judged by the way she dresses up too and lots of people bash her because she’s too sexy and kinda forget where she comes from. LOL. So, to wrap all these, I’m going to say that people will not stop judging you as long as you still breathe and this world keeps spinning. It is better to be yourself and ignore what people said behind your back or in front of your face. Like what I did now. Last but not least, never let people’s words bring you down. Just live your life because your life does not depend on the other’s hand. As long as you happy with what you have and what you do.
