Funny title; I know right. Life has been pretty awesome. I will be sharing some of the experiences I have had; good, bad and just there experiences too.
The first time someone made fun of my body was back in islamiyya (I was in primary 3 or so).
The funny thing is it was an adult, a teacher for that matter. I never knew that I had a big/long feet until that evening, he might have used my big feet to describe me but all it did was made me conscious of my feet. I was happy with what they looked like until he made that comment. I started to use really long and baggy trousers to cover it, thank God baggy was the "in thing" then. It took me a while to love them just the way they are. After a while, I saw how beautiful they truly are.
I think people are always looking for ways to make others feel less confident and happy because they are not happy too.
I wasn't the kind of kid that shared my problems, eventhough most of my problems were trivial stuff, they bothered me until I found ways to deal with them on my own. I am especially sensitive to words, you can hit me and I won't cry but once you say something mean, it will hurt me for a very long time. If you called me stupid in the class on a Monday morning, I guarantee you that it will keep me half awake at night. When I see you on Tuesday morning, all I will be thinking about is the name you called me the previous day; I will look for ways to distract myself and smile. Even after two weeks, that insult will still be the thing that keeps me up at night.
