A short story on Low self-esteem
Below is the story of my life when I was a teenager. Thanks to my Friend Annie and Taylor who really helped me to be who u am presently.
"You're so ugly, I wonder how and why I gave birth to you!" shouted my mom. She goes on ranting and shouting at me and I wonder if this really is the family I was born into or whether I was just adopted.......
My name is Aster Brooklyn meaning an unrecognized flower (aster) to me alright. I'm 14yrs old in my first year of high school. My parents hate me and keep abusing (verbally/orally) me and I don't think much about myself since I was young. I am blind and I was never loved or well taken care of 😭, it was only our old nanny that thought I was precious and took good care of me and when she died 💔 😢 it was so sad for me because no one really cared but me. She was always bossed around because of me and because I was blind. Though my younger sister took care of me and helped me most times but sometimes she gets tired when I always ask her to get numerous things for me and most times I feel for her to. Most times I even think of committing suicide a whenever I went to school I also make myself unrecognizable even though it's hard when am blind but the good thing is people don't really notice that I am blind. I had a best friend that usually helps me her name is Taylor and she's really beautiful and caring from what I hear from people. She always comes early to school in order to catch up with me and help me so that it wouldn't be obvious that I'm blind.
We've friends since middle school and she's been very loyal to me. She always encourages me to be a little full of myself, stop being skeptical and love myself but I never really took in.
It was until one day that I met a new girl in school well everyone knew she was a new student but me. Then one day she walked up to me and asked to know more about me and I told her then something got me astonished and it was that she recognized that I was blind and that she knew it because of the way she's been watching me most of the time I told her to not tell anyone but it was more like begging her because no one ever know it was only Taylor and me, and my family of course. Though I couldn't see her we discussed and she told me that she was paralyzed all the way from her waist down and to top it all she was also involved in a fire 🔥 incident which ruined her skin badly. That day when I got home I thought about all that she said and I realized that her...
