About punctuality

I am a very punctual person. Usually I prefer to come early before the aim time. I always like that. But since I found out and discover the beauty of being late, now I am always late. The beauty of being late are ...

1. Why early or be punctual because the event will not start as it stated.
2. There will always people who will come late.
3. Come, nobody bother about punctuality anymore.

I know all the reasons I stated there are not right, and wrong to practice or even to think that way. The designated time of something and either we have to come because obligation or promise is something I must obey. It my promise, and my obligation and I have to follow. Truthfully, I hate being late, but as time goes by, I found it to be addicting.

I have friend who cannot follow time badly. Whenever I want to go somewhere or do something, I have to lie. Let say, my bus will take off at 8, I have to say I have to go early because I have to do something, and by early, I have to say two hours early. And still I will arrive at 7.30. late for 90 minutes. This is happened when I stay at her place.

But now, I do not want to repeat this kind of thing again. I want to promise myself to be punctual, to prepare early and no more delaying. I must. In Islam there is this surah who said that whoever waste time, he is the one who lost. I forgot the surah and exact meaning, but there is this statement. Time is more precious than gold. I hate those who make other people wait and it is bad habit. I want to change it.

Finding Self-Confidence Through “Stay the Same”

Finding Self-Confidence Through “Stay the Same” Growing up, music often became a source of comfort and connection, and one song that truly stood out to me was *"Stay the Same"* by Joey McIntyre. Its lyrics about self-acceptance and self-confidence resonated with me in a way that felt both reassuring and empowering. At its heart, *"Stay the Same"* is a reminder that we don’t need to change who we are to be worthy of love and acceptance—a message that was both profound and comforting, especially as a young person navigating self-doubt and the desire to fit in. The opening line, *"Don’t you ever wish you were someone else,"* is like a gentle wake-up call. It’s so easy to fall into the habit of comparing ourselves to others, wishing for qualities we don’t have or feeling inadequate because of some perceived flaw. As a young person, hearing these words felt like a validation that who I was, as I was, was enough. It’s one of those rare reminders that our val...

The Constant Inner Critic People with low self-esteem often live with a relentless inner critic. This voice magnifies every flaw, criticizes every decision, and makes even small mistakes feel monumental. To outsiders, this might look like perfectionism or overthinking, but it’s more than that. It’s a battle against self-doubt that can paralyze decision-making and sap joy from achievements. For example, a compliment might feel insincere or undeserved because their inner critic is quick to dismiss it. “They’re just being polite,” th...
