HI :3
I was nominated for this award by Sav which is really heartwarming for me since it’s awesome to know that people respect me. A shout out to the King of Savagery: thank you soooo much for nominating me! Even though I can’t nominate you for this award anymore, just know that I have huge amount of respect for you!
The two rules to this award are:
- Paste the award picture in your post
- Answer the questions
What is respect and what does it mean to you?
Off the top of my head, I can say that respect is what you have for someone or something when you regard them in a certain way. It’s something that one has for everyone at the simplest level (explained later) but it can also be something that you earn from or give to others.
To explain what I said earlier: it’s something that all human beings should have a right to in the simplest way – a right to have our lives respected. We shouldn’t have to fight to have our basic living needs (i.e. food, water, shelter, etc.), our rights and our certain wills respected. I say “certain wills” because… that can be a very sensitive subject to cross. Some wills are reasonable, such as the will to live freely without discrimination should be respected, but the word “reasonable” reaches different boundaries for each individual so I’m going to leave it as that. I’m just going to focus on respect for this post.
Who do you respect the most?
As I mentioned previously, I respect everyone’s lives to a certain extent but having to pick one that I respect the most is difficult. I don’t think I’ll be able to give a definite answer to this question because there’s a lot for me to write down. What I am going to say is, the people I have a high amount of respect for are those that have worked for good, don’t brag about it and are succeeding.
I also think that it’s very important to have a lot of respect for yourself. Many people, myself included, have degraded themselves due to one reason or another. However, as I’ve been reminded recently, we are human and not perfect. I know that my description of people whom I highly respect sounds pretty perfect but the thing is, that’s just a summary. There’s so much more going on behind the scenes which we don’t know about so we can’t say that they are perfect. Admitting that you’re not perfect, accepting it and still finding ways to get up and move forward is something I’m still learning but I highly respect.
Which bloggers have earned your respect?
The first two have already been nominated but are still definitely worth mentioning:
- The Cereal Squad – I’ve seen these guys during bad times and yet they still manage to keep going. That’s the reason why I respect them. They’re all really strong in their own way – whether it be because of their talents or their outlook in life – they have earned my respect because of it.
- Elm – I love how she’s very welcoming and friendly to everyone in the blogosphere. Her posts are incredible and show how unique and amazing she is. She’s also really supportive to others and never fails to make me smile with her posts. So, I really respect you for being the person you are.
- Bella – She’s someone I respect because of how kind and sweet she comes of in all of her posts and comments. I also greatly respect how sincere she is in all her writing and I’ve related to them way more than I can count.
- Row – I love reading her blog since it’s one of the few that have anime/ gaming related posts and I respect her for being able to still write awesome posts consistently despite having a lot of other stuff to do.
- KTWritings – From the first time she commented on my post, I knew that she was a really friendly and kind person. She’s also fearless in her posts and writings which is something I greatly respect!
I feel like this is one of those posts I’ve thought very deeply about and for me, that’s actually a good thing. There are so many more people out there that deserve to know that they are respected. I hope that you let the people you respect a lot know that and thank you for reading this post!
