SHINee - 늘 그자리에 (Honesty)

——————-

늘 그 자리에 있어 날 지켜줘서
늘 내가 받을 비난 대신해서
아무 말도 없이 날 감싸준 네 모습을 이젠
내가 거울처럼 비추려 해

[Trans]
Because you’ve always been there to protect me
Because you’ve taken the criticism that I should receive
You have shielded me without a word and now
I will reflect you like a mirror

——————-

This is my favorite song from the album ^^ It’s so beautiful. Their voices are lovely, especially Onew’s.

For most people, this word will mean a negative thing. Commonly associated with people who are not satisfied with what they have…ending up with an unpleasant attitude towards other people.

But for me, this word represents me.

Hearing the word ‘insecure’ or ‘insecurity’ makes me think about myself and my previous life.

Since I was young I’ve been insecure and jealous about the things that I don’t have that people close to me have.

That attitude became a positive and a negative trait.

Of course, being jealous and insecure is a normal thing. Everyone became insecure at some point in their life. This just becomes a negative trait if you let it overcome your true identity…if because of insecurity you become someone that’s not you…if you become a person whose actions and reactions are based on the things you don’t have.

I’m a person with low self-esteem. Making me recognize my weaknesses more than my strengths. There’s even a point in my life where I feel like I don’t have any strength or capability, no talent or skill. I felt alone and lonely that time. And for a grade school student that time, the first thing I’m insecure about is other people’s skill to communicate and be friends with other people. I envy the people who have lots of friends…those people who can mingle with everyone in a room…people not like me who just stay in a corner and no one even bother to come over and talk.

My insecurity builds up when someone close to me achieved something or succeeded at something. It may sound bad, but my happiness for them is just half of how much I should be.

But since I’m just a kid back then, all I think is about myself.

Until I’m about to enter High School.

I planned to change my self, my attitude and personality, before I enter High School. During my last year in grade school, I tried to mingle with my classmates. But that didn’t result to a positive outcome. My classmates recognized the change that happened to me. But since they have their own circle of friends, my approach branded me as “FC (Feeling Close)” or “attention seeker”.

So, when I entered HS, where there are a few who knows me, I continued the change I started before. I became friendly, but not super friendly, I had my own group of friends and I’m very pleased with my accomplishment. Since there’s only a few who knows me here, I gained confidence and recognized my strengths.

But insecurity doesn’t end there. But at this stage, that insecurity becomes a positive trait.

I envy my friend who dances well. So, I tried dancing too, turns out I’m quite good (according to other people..hihi..). I envy my friend who’s good at drawing. So I give drawing a shot. Turns out I’m not bad at it either (but not as good as my friend). And I’ve tried other things as well which turns out that I’m not good at it. hehe..

My point here is that, my insecurity became my inspiration or a challenge that I want to overcome.

Until now that I’m in college, I still feel the insecurity and jealousy. Sometimes it affects me badly, sometimes positively.

But there are really times that I can’t do anything about my insecurity. Like now, I’m jealous of people who can play musical instruments (I don’t know how to play any musical instrument) but I can’t do anything about it, it’s just a regret that I didn’t have the urge or interest when I was younger.

Another thing I’m insecure now, is that there are people my age who are really successful now (mostly the Kpop idols). It’s not that I want to be an artists or what. I’m jealous that they have their own dreams and now their living it. As early as 7 years old they start working for their dreams, while I, on the other hand, is busy being insecure with other people at that time.

Well, what I’m just trying to say here in my post, is that, every one gets jealous and insecure. Every one never gets satisfied. That’s life.

If you’re the one who’s insecure, don’t let it affect you badly. Treat it as a challenge.

If you’re the one other people envy, don’t be too proud and treat ‘insecure people’ as a hater or as someone to hate. Just be thankful that you have those things and that you’ve touched other people’s life.

If you have read this, hope you get something from it. :))) It’s just a rant of my insecurity. I wrote this because I’m feeling down right now.
