Don't Give Them That Power. I was sitting all alone as I always do every afternoon. I guess the line 'Cos, I've been by myself all night long in Adele's 'When we were young' was made for me😅. I'm a very playful person and a good improviser but I love to stay alone most time. Not because I don't like people or I don't want to be close friends with anyone but because I enjoy being by myself. It keeps me in the mood of doing all the positive things that I could ever think of. I went to my social media page as I have always done. I saw different posts as usual. We know social media is full of different posts so you will always find the post that suits your mood best. I found one this afternoon. As you all know, I'm not stingy. I'm that person who loves to share what she saw on social media platforms with people or her audiences so that they could learn from it and also make some adjustments if they fall into that category. The person wrote about one power that a lot of us give to one particular person. She said that a lot of us give people the power to hurt us. How? It's very cool to express yourself and let someone know that you are their favorite person but do not give them the power to be able to ruin your day. Let me use an example to buttress my point. Birthday is one of the most special days in our lives. Some people say it's their wedding day, graduation day, and a lot more. I'll use birthdays as a major example because it seems to be very special to a large number of people. Imagine that you have a favorite person, close to your heart and you talk to them now and then. You tend to realize that if that person does not wish you a happy birthday, you may not be happy throughout the day because you have given that person the capacity, ability, and also chance of defining your happiness for you. It's cool to fall in love with someone but do not let people or someone be the source of your happiness. I laugh when I see people save their partner's contact with the source of their happiness. Why would you call someone that? Let me tell you, whatever happens to you in life, you are responsible for it. You're responsible for your happiness, sadness, and every other kind of mood you could ever be in. One thing we don't know is that, once we let someone into our lives and make them our source of happiness, they can break us. The majority of us do not think in that direction. All we think of is the sweet part which is someone making us happy. We forget to think that they are human beings, human beings can switch up or change anytime and they may break us. I'm sure you have seen someone who has been broken. They act mad!!! They are lost, melancholy, depressed and sad! But if you are all for yourself and give no one the chance of defining your happiness, I'm sure no one will be able to break you!!! Hello, Don't give them that power.

We're the same my friend. I love staying alone in my room, I admit sometimes that I get bored also but most of the time I love to be in the room alone.
So, I finally found someone like me😅
Hehe yes my friend. We're the same. 🥰
Some weeks ago, a lady was reporting her bf to me on how he treats her and she's feeling hurt. Do you know what I told her? I told her the basic truth; "no matter what, don't tie your happiness on your relationship, human changes". Yeah, I was given the awkward reply but I've said my own
Nah why I still break up with one idiot a few weeks ago
We should have control on our emotions and intentions. I agreed we should not give power to others. We should not dependent on others. It didn't matter either someone wish me happy birthday or not.
Exactly You should be your source of happiness
> Birthday is one of the most special days in our lives It's only girls that see it as something special 😂 The reason why people get so heartbroken and disappointed to the extent they will feel like dying is because they always have high expectations. They focus only on the good part of things and expect things to keep going smoothly but when their expectations are eventually destroyed, they are completely caught off guard and heartbroken because they never saw it coming
You're right But we like good things Nah😅
