You are not everyone’s cuppa tea...

I read this somewhere and it stuck with me. It’s a simple line with a lot of meaning to it. And it’s so true. Some people will love you, others will like you and some people will not care at all. No matter how hard you try some people will never like you. And there is nothing wrong with that as ‘you are not their cuppa tea’ and they are not yours. So please stop wasting your time trying to please them or convince them. I learnt this the hard way but I got there.
I try and surround myself with people who accept me the way I am. They love me or like me for who I am and not who I pretend to be lol. Let’s be honest we all do that from time to time. I call it my ‘personal side’ and ‘professional side’. As I do try my best to keep my crazy self to myself at work hahahah.
I found out that best way to do is to declutter my life just as I do it with my wardrobe. The cloths that I have not worn in a year or were an impulse buy or the ones I have to force myself to wear because I spent a little too much on it, need to go. I have decluttered my personal life a lot now but I still find it hard in professional settings as when you work with someone it’s a totally different situation.
I have worked at so many different places and one thing that is consuming everyone is EGO. So, instead of working with each other, people are working against each other. And God forbid If someone like me points it out, oh boy it’s not taken well and I mean to the point where they make it their life mention to probably kill me hahahah (I can be so dramatic).
Don’t get me wrong I am no saint myself, I have my share of ego filled moments but I know when I am in that state of mind and how to get out of their. What sucks the most is when you have to work with someone and they have an ego and are not open to working together. I always struggle with how far I need to be nice to them and are even getting that I am trying to help them? Gosh so complicated, now how would you concentrate on working when you have all this to worry about. I always hope for a world where life is unicorn and rainbows lol and will keep hoping that.
And if someone thinks it crazy than ‘I am not their cuppa tea and they are not mine’.
