appreciate the underrated

so this is probably my last post before I leave for Italy on friday. yeaah, finally going on holiday. I'm so happy that I finally get to leave holland, even though it's only for 2 weeks. I'm so tired of the sucky weather out here.. I don't want rain, clouds and dreariness 6 days a week during summer, me no likey.

but there are some things I do likey. and, as you may know, one of those things is mind-blowing facts. i mean you read it and think, wow damn I knew that but never really realized it.. or thought about it.. you know? and, if you ask me, they're worth your time. there are lots of things in life everyone's taking for granted, and I ask myself, my god why?! I mean, if there's one thing you should never do, it's taking something or someone for granted. so this post is specially made for all those things in life we tend to take for granted.
let's appreciate more and underestimate less! :)

• courage and bravery; for instance, having the guts to spill your guts. the truth is way more powerful than we all think, we are always wondering if the truth's the best way to go. or following your dreams, having the courage to fight for what you believe in. or doing your own thing, instead of following the crowd.
• opportunities; this is one of the major things that keep us from giving up. but we don't get new opportunities every day, and new windows won't open themselves. you have work for, and at it. don't waste an opportunity by underestimating it's uniqueness. but appreciate the chance and try your best. then if you still not get what you wanted in the end, don't keep wondering what the hell went wrong, 'cause then a second chance may never come along.
• love; yeah, it's tacky i know. but it's so true. we should appreciate our partners way more than we are. but only when it's true love, of course. sometimes I realize that I'm not appreciating my boyfriend, J, enough. he's so important to me and he changed my life, and he's always there for me. and I forget about that sometimes. I'm not saying you should show affection all the time (you don't have to become a suckup, because who likes those anyway?), but showing your appreciation every once in a while wouldn't hurt anyone. and not only do we depreciate our significant others. I'm talking about all those amazing people in your life that make your life worth living. :) that's why I keep repeating, SPREAD THE LOVE, WE ALL NEED IT! :D

yeah, i couldn't really think of anything else we depreciate. but I'm sure there are still lots of things I forgot. so if you have any suggestions, leave a comment, I swear it will be appreciated. ;)

and now, I'd like to finish this post with the following.
