I don’t think my beliefs and values have changed tremendously throughout the years, I still have the same opinions & thoughts I had in my late teens/early twenties but the only difference now is the fact I added a few sub-bullet points when it came to those morals, values & beliefs.
That’s the reason why in today’s post I wanted to share with you 3 words I view differently now compared to a couple of years ago. They haven’t necessarily changed into a positive or negative manner, it’s more so the way I define those words. Without further ado, let’s jump into the post!
Je ne pense pas que mes croyances et mes valeurs aient énormément changé au fil des années. J’ai toujours les mêmes opinions et pensées qu’à la fin de mon adolescence/au début de la vingtaine, mais la seule différence maintenant est le fait que j’ai ajouté quelques sous-puces en ce qui concerne ces morales, valeurs et croyances.
C’est la raison pour laquelle, dans l’article d’aujourd’hui, je voulais partager avec vous 3 mots que je vois différemment aujourd’hui par rapport à il y a quelques années. Ils n’ont pas nécessairement changé de manière positive ou négative, c’est plutôt la façon dont je définis ces mots. Sans plus tarder, passons au post !

LOVE
I don’t know if I had a proper definition in my mind in terms of love a couple of years ago, I simply knew that it was this strong emotion which evoked hope when you had it but when you didn’t, it gave you despair. If there was something I was very sure of, it was the fact that if you loved someone – you had to acknowledge both their qualities and flaws.
The past few years have made me realise how complex and beautiful love could be and how it encompasses so many different emotions – both positive and negative – into a single word. When I hear about love, I don’t automatically assume or refer to it as romantic anymore.
There are so many types of love whether it be familial, platonic, romantic or lustful. Romantic love isn’t the only type of love that could be fulfilling – familial love or any other type of love could be just as much. I still have a lot of thoughts regarding this term but this would end up being a very long post so I’m going to stop here for now haha.

GOAL
I always thought that goals had to be significant and grand. When people talked about goals, it often had something to do with their education, career, family or even materialistic things. Goals in general gave you this sense of accomplishment once you achieve them like you have finally done something worthy of and moved onto the next step or a step ahead in your life.
However, now more than ever I don’t think goals should be significant or grand – let alone something that brings you pressure. If your lifetime goal was to finish 300 books within a year then it’s completely okay. I don’t think your goals should matter to others or the society. In addition, I don’t think your goals should be significant to others. As long as they are something important to you and they bring you joy & peace then it doesn’t matter if other people understand them or you.

SUCCESS
Last but not least, I used to view success as something that was related to your career, relationship or the number of materialistic things you owned. However, the way people define success doesn’t only vary from person-to-person but it also varies depending on their circumstance. It’s not something that should be defined or dictated by the society because the definition is unique for every single person in the world.
Being able to buy a car might be the definition of success to one person but getting to afford a bicycle might be to another person. It doesn’t mean that one person’s success is greater than another’s, it simply means that everybody’s journey is different. There is no need to think that you haven’t reached the path of success by comparing yourself to another person when your pace & circumstances are completely different with one another.

Hey NL 🙂
I think you have a typo — my hunch is you meant to write *owned but dropped the “n” by mistake.
