I have been writing reports for the past three and a half years, I kind of have forgotten how to write out my own opinions and thoughts. Reports have always been about facts and theoretical explanations, and that’s soooo different from having your own view.
In short, I sort of just bombed the essay.
My thoughts weren’t put together, I lacked opinion and uh, it killed me silently that I was that bad at it. When did I start losing my own voice?!
I guess it’s when I stopped trying doing anything. For a while then, I stopped blogging or tweeting or writing and from then on, everything went ‘downhill’. I stopped progressing and improving myself because I cared too much about what people was going to think about me.
Now I realised, I shouldn’t have done that. It’s fine to have a different opinion than others and it is definitely something that should be celebrated. There’s no right or wrong with it because people think, feel and view things in various ways and it is okay.
Above all else, the differences should be respected and not ridiculed. Often times, people forget about that. Every now and then, I see people forcing their own views on another person and that is sooo unnecessary, and honestly, it scares me.
Even then, that should not discourage me nor you from being more vocal. It’s good to be opinionated. It gives us opportunity to think for ourselves and prevent us from following people blindly. As my professor said, understand the subject, form your own opinion and make decisions based on that.
But remember, when expressing it to the world, be ethical.
