Today, I was blessed. I am thankful and grateful that someone offered me his seat. It was a blessing for me; how I wish I’m surrounded by men like that, who recognized me and let me take what I deserve.
It’s been twice already that I was offered a seat by men in a bus; how lucky this self was. I’m thankful and grateful, I hope they will be blessed. Today, someone appreciated me and it felt great even if it’s just a joke.
In the past, I would be angry with my best-friend teasing me about my beauty. I won’t believe anyone appreciating me, I thought they will bully me if I will believe them. I thought believing in something that’s too good to be true will make me stupid.
Now that I’m adulting, I realized how disrespectful I was. I could have at least acknowledged their feelings and thank them for trying to make me feel special instead of making them liars. I know that they’re telling the truth, but I wasn’t thankful and grateful enough.
I’ll make sure to be thankful and grateful for the little things that I hear and receive. I will be thankful and grateful for the little praises and believe that it’s the truth even if it’s not. Sometimes, you just have to allow yourself to be loved no matter how ugly you think you are.
I would feel bad if no one will believe in me when I say, “You are pretty!” I would feel bad if no one will believe in me when I say, “You made me happy.” I would be sad if someone will not believe in me when I say, “Sorry.” Loving yourself is loving the people who loves me.
Real friends will not endanger their friends, but rather protect it from harm. Why on earth I surround myself with people who really doesn’t care; I was always around, but I was not recognized. Maybe I will start recognizing those people who have been with me since; who have secretly adored me from the very beginning. Maybe I should give chance to those who see me as I am, who appreciates me for what I’ve become.
Let them cherish you, let them appreciate you; let them recognize you, let them cheer for you. It’s their right. They have the right to adore you; if it makes them happy, so be it. If it makes their lives successful, so be it. Be happy for them, instead of being angry everytime someone is happy with you. Smile, let them be happy. Keep moving! It doesn’t hurt to say thank you, nor it hurts to be kind.
