Bad Day (Irony #3)

Do you know the feeling of being invisible? 
You were there, but people act like you weren't

You were there standing right in front of them, but they didn't look. They avoided you, they didn't want to even look at your face. You tried to look at them; they seemed like noticed, but they didn't want to have an eye-contact with you, so they looked away. You wanted to try to talk to them, but you can't think a word... You wanted to ask, "Why?" but you just can't. You felt like digging your own hole by asking such thing, so you discouraged

The next time you see them, they were having chit-chats with people who are your friends, too. You joined. You talked to the person who has closest relationship with you at the moment, you laughed. But they seemed like not liking you. They went away. They laughed together just for themselves. They avoided you. You knew you used to be with them. You knew it so well, how you made good memories with them. You cried inside. You suffered so much to not cry for real. You tried so good. You succeed.

Then comes your last encounter with them for the day. They still avoided you. They walked here and there randomly, trying so hard so you can't find them. But you found them. And once again, you wanted to try to talk to them, but you can't think a word... You were so negative. You were so doubtless that if you talk to them, they would ignore. Deep inside, you knew that they are actually not that bad. But well, you discouraged

You want to know so bad the actual reason behind all of this. Your chest hurts so bad. Your eyes feel so hot, you want to cry... You want to cry your heart out so much. All you ever wanted to know is the answer of your short, pitiful question: "Why?" but nobody answered. The only thing you want besides your answer is to sleep. A long sleep, and forgetting all your pain when you get up. 

If you've read this until the end, I appreciate it. Thank you so much. :)

#DontJudgeChallenge: The Actual Truth

I'm pretty sure that most of you are already know about this #dontjudgechallenge which is a popular trend in instagram these days. People make videos of themselves with their 'ugly look' and then, in seconds, they'll transform to their 'best look' with proper makeup and better hairstyles (check #dontjudgechallenge hashtag in instagram for examples). Too bad, most of people try this challenge without knowing how and why this challenge started.

What #dontjudgechallenge actually is?


This challenge is triggered by a video uploaded by a beauty blogger named Em Ford. She started uploading photos of her face without wearing any makeup to her social medias. And as expected, many people gave negative responses, and most are insults about her pale skin and her acne, telling that she's ugly and worse: disgusting. Then she started to wear makeups again, and people said she's amazing, flawless, beautiful... But at the end, people keep telling that she's faking herself by wearing makeup.

So, this #dontjudgechallenge was started to support Em Ford. Through this video, people want to tell others that she was right that we should not judge people from their appearance. But a lot of people misunderstood what #dontjudgechallenge actually means. They took it wrong by wearing fake acne, fake unibrow, thick/messy lipsticks, fake freckles, etc. as their 'ugly look'. It seems like they're telling that people with acne, unibrow, and freckles are ugly, meanwhile people who wear makeups are beautiful. It makes the original message of #dontjudgechallenge (to not judge people by their appearance) is ruined. Having acne doesn't make you ugly, stop belittling people by giving them the idea they aren't beautiful.

How am I supposed to make my own #dontjudgechallenge video?

This #dontjudgechallenge SHOULD NOT used to make fun of ugly people. This challenge isn't intended to be a joke. This challenge supposed to be a way to tell people that we shouldn't judge people by their appearance. There's no standard of being beautiful! All of us are beautiful.

We don't have to join this challenge just because it's trending in social medias! What if people with those look you interpret as 'ugly' get offended? You just indirectly hurt other people because of your 'joke'. Make sure you understand what #dontjudgechallenge (or other challenges might trending in the future) actually means if you want to make one :)



"You are beautiful - no matter how flawed you feel, 
no matter how upset you may about the way you look 
or how hard you find it to make friends, or be confident. 
Believe in yourself, and never let anyone tell you're not beautiful - not even yourself."

(Em Ford)
