"It's anonymous, so stranger that gives you compliments. It feels like the best you will ever receive. For it will become meaningful for you don't know who said those to you," said the host of the event last Friday, September 2, 2022. "The activity was aimed and centered to the self-realization about yourself and what other thinks about you, we all have a negative flow, but the sense where people gives you compliment and the idea is that you don't know who they are, that's give you the best meaningful words you ever received."
That's what I remembered said in the introduction of the activity. It was well prepared and given enough time to provide the name of the people whom we shall give a compliment about there self, what we have noticed and what we feel about them. I also wrote my praise; some failed to think I delivered that compliment to them, and some still don't know what compliment I gave. I will remain unnamed until the end, hoping I have made a fitting compliment for others.
But the best thing that happened was when you received strangers' compliments. You will find yourself in the eerie is this what they see about me? Is this what they pictured looking at me? And other douth is this true? Of curse it was, they see me in that side of myself. They might know me personally, but digging into the impression, shall be an excellent start to understanding more about myself.
Anonymous Number One:
"You're a man full of wisdom and experience. A smart guy that has a lot of stories to share. Unique intellect and full of potential. One of the people that is determined to achieve the goal. And persistent despite the difficult situation. You're a person who is willing to help someone in need. The generosity that you have is something that I appreciate."
It took me a while where to start. Do these people find me in this phase where I am alone and don't see it coming?
I am full of experience, and I knew that 'experience is the best teacher I was molded within ever since I was so young, and I wanted to gain more of those experiences during my stay. Digging into my past, I am not what I am today, for the fact that experience gives me the sight for me move forward, become the person I wanted to be, not looking at what others see me, I thought that other people know the difference, not until this anonymous person talks.
Anonymous Number Two:
"Dear eunoia101. You have a great feeling of goodwill, just like your name, as you are very friendly and helpful. A long time ago, Aristotle used your name (EUNOIA) as something that encompasses wisdom, virtue, and goodwill. You must be like the great philosopher. Aside from I adore you for how you express your bright thoughts and ideas. Continue to be an inspiration to everyone. Much love to you, my little bro in HivePH, Love you always."
I always mentioned that I also loved the name "Eunoia" I liked to wear the word every time, and it gives me the feeling of being someone when I use the term. Like it was an avatar when I came inside the name of Eunoia's skin, I needed to forget my real name. To work or be me away from reality, away from the actual place, the emotions and things that bothered me. When I was tired of being myself, I needed to be in the skin of Eunoia, write things that bothered me, and alter the world of my reality of something that would become beautiful.
A beautiful name I also adore, a name that gives me another version of myself, to be in the meaning. "a Wise man, and wise thinking."
Anonymous Number Three:
"The man who surprised me the most. I don't expect your voice (podcast) to be so good. Like I'm in love with it. You are very determined to passionate. I appreciate your kindness and generosity."
The weird thing is that "Kindness and generosity" happened to be given to me the third time. I never said I am kind and generous, but I am real when I see someone needs something, and if ever I have something, I prefer to give over watching them stressing for something. Besides, sometime generosity and kindness could be taken, but for me. I just wanted to be authentic and be myself.
Anonymous Number Four:
"Hello Yonong, You're a smart guy, and I admire you for that. You know what you want, and I find it amazing because I, myself, am indecisive. When you make up your mind about something, nothing stands in your way. You're a great example to others, and I hope you know that"
I was an example and someone saying that you have this kind of something inside. I appreciate that someone finds things from me as inspiration. I could and find it amusing when they can't do the thing. I am also a person who is always amazed at someone, and the next thing I came up with was that. "What if I will be like the same as they are" this is the mindset I always look up to and makes me adore people.
The point is to open up the room for self-reflection on "How you see yourself" and "How they see you" What was your view?
They pointed out one thing that I am not yet familiar with myself, "generosity" I came in self-realization does I am? Am I generous to others and myself? Am I faking this out? As much as possible, I don't see it as the charity's help, and I see those kindnesses as my real me over a friend. I felt I was so much special when someone with whom I was close thought of me as their first point. They remembered me.
Maybe it is indisputable that we don't see ourselves the way others see us. Sometimes we disvalue ourselves thinking that what we see and feel is like other feelings.
I get the point of self-realization. I might not yet know myself as far as now. But people have seen it and given you an idea of what they know about you in a manner of being anonymous. I get what the host said, "It was the greatest compliment," and I believed it was.
Thank you, people, who give me a secret compliment, I might not mention, or I might not know who you are, but believe me, it helps me uplift myself. I love you, HivePH.
