How to compete with her
#WritcoStoryPrompt114
Her golden brown eyes shine like stars in the ecstatic night sky. She is a glorified singer as well as an athlete. An international award winner... but I... I'm just a little stone in the vast complicated world. He always liked her but I always liked him.. He would tell me how beautiful she is and how talented she is. sometimes I'm proud of her because jealousy is a base quality and I'm higer in good qualities.
I often forgive my self for who I am. It's true that I can't sing or dance or draw like her.
One day she came to me and said, "Oh my God! just wear some good clothes and shoes. You look like a nerd. Just horrible". I broke down into pieces. When he asked me what is wrong with me I said nothing because I thought he hated me.
I forgave my self for my simplicity. I forgave myself for saving money and even I forgave myself for being me until I realized that her beauty, talents and wealth meant nothing because of her pride and cruelty.
When three of us were together, she looked at him and said, "Why are you wearing just shoes? Oh come on wear some branded items!!!" Then he looked at her and said, "My mom is battling with Cancer. I'm saving my money to treat her.". Her face looked terrible and I wanted to hug him so tight and make him feel that I will be with him during his hardest moments. but I kept it silent and gave him a compassionate look. She then looked at him and said, "What? Saving money? Cancer? Why did I ever loved you!!! You have no money!!!"
She ran away. His eyes were full of tears. I could not resist it and hugged him for a long long time. Then I realized that I'm not just a stone in the vast complicated world. I'm a gem.
So you are!
Don't ever change your goodness for anyone else. Be yourself and Love your self because that's the best thing a person can do!
