Changing is never hard Because if changing is hard, how could Ben 10 transform from a normal boy into a no-eyes-monster or you-know-the-rest-of-it within just seconds, just by pouncing on his wrist-watch?
What an irrelevant example. Only kids like Hamzah would accept this example. So please be a kid like Hamzah. :p
Anyway, I've just been reading through all the old letters sent by my owls and I found this and felt inclined to add a new letter, as an official reply to one of the comments.

"Brand new year, or so we think. So, realizing how we've been before, there are things we'd change bout ourselves. What will you do now?
Something to ponder..
(hey, liked the song)"
pqralsnk, funny it's 5 months later I replied, maybe it's because I've just found the answer (or maybe I was just too lazy at that time, haha!) about what to do? Changing oneself is never easy, just thinking about it is like, 'Oh do I've to do all the work?'
You're demotivated when you take the process of changing as a chore. But what if you just put an intention on it? What if you just say to yourself, 'I really want to change that and that about myself!' without worrying the 'chore' you have to do?
An intention, that is so strong and sincere, will consequently brings out the best in you. You will subconsciously do what's need to be done without feeling like exhausted. And it's a day-to-day process. Just worry about what you need to do today. So you won't feel so much burdened.
Omg, there are so many things I want to change about myself. I wish I'm more chatty so that...why huh?, I wish I'm braver as to tell that instructor that only girls are allowed to sit at the back, I wish I have more patience with the kids so that I won't sound throaty afterwards, I wish I'd stop day-dreaming and focus on what's real and I wish I won't get hungry by just looking at the pictures of mouth-watering food (OK I'm getting hungrier now), I wish I'm not clumsy so that people would stop saying 'Bibah ni....', I wish all of my wishes come true so that I don't have to wish again =)
The Song
The truth slapped at my face
I begin to realize how I’ve been
You’re not my future
Yet you are here
Unless I look into your eyes
You’ll be keep on being you
Ignore it you must not
Or else you’ll rot!
pqralsnk. thanks for liking that song. I like it, too =) It nearly makes me cry. OK, stop. I guess it's more to a poem but I'd hate if people read it as if they're reading poems, that's why I call it 'song', huh whatever ;p
note 1: The Mara interviewer, she disagreed when I said that in order to change other people, we have to change ourselves first. So feel free to disagree. But I won't disagree back. I don't wanna change your opinion. I just wanna stick with mine. :)
note 2: Back to the title, it's just a physco phrase. Because if we say "hard", we would become lazy and think it's impossible. If we say 'It's just not so easy", we'd like say this back to ourselves, "So what? It isn't easy but it's possible. I'll prove it to you. Give me the watch now!"
note 3: to this one special girl,which i call her ateh, I've recently become close to, I would like to dedicate this lines of lyric to you - 'I don't wanna to change you, I just wanna you to be happy' =)
