Hello, hello, helloo! How are you? I hope you're well.
Is being picky bad? This is a question that has been floating around my head for some time now. I would have never considered myself a picky person, however, recently I noticed that I'm quite picky myself.
I have had the pleasure of cooking for quite a few fussy eaters and if you've been in that situation, too, you know that it can be quite frustrating and stressful since there's always something they don't like. As a person who basically eats everything this really does my head in and it's so difficult to understand why that person is never satisfied with what I cook. Nonetheless, I know that it's not their fault and that they don't like different foods because everybody has a different taste (or in that case: taste buds).
Taste plays a huge role in everything what we do, buy or decide to do. It's as specific and individual as we are. It's part of our personality. I've noticed quite a few times that I'm especially picky with whom I surround myself with and also with the guys I go out with. The last thing in particular is something that most people don't understand, at least in my experience. The amount of times I got a weird reaction when I told somebody that a certain guy is not right for me... It's just annoying. "You are so difficult! You're so picky! He's such a nice guy. What's wrong with him again?!" These are mostly the reactions I get and I started to think myself that I'm difficult and that being picky was a negative thing. However, is it really that strange that I care about surrounding myself with the right people? Especially when I spend a lot of time with them? NO, definitely not!
"Surround yourself with people that make you happy." This is a quote that you hear over and over again and this is exactly what I'm doing now. Why should I put effort and energy and happiness into people and also things that in the end make me feel bad or sad or pressured into being somebody I'm not?
Being picky just shows what we want out of life and who we want to be. It's a selection of all the things and people that make us feel great and bring out the best in us. And most importantly, it picks out all the negativity and toxic things that push us down. So that ultimately, when we're successful in picking out everything that's negative, we literally will be living our best lives which is so important nowadays, since almost everybody has experienced anxiety or depression.
All I want to say is: Embrace your pickiness! Don't let other people tell you what's good for you, because ultimately, you're the only one who knows what's best for you!
I hope you're having an amazing start to the new week! See you, xx
