Being special..

I blame the world for making people judge a person by their size rather than the quality they have. What is wrong by being fat or thin or athletic? Why is it that you have to make someone feel bad about their body and lower their self-esteem? Why can’t people just accept that every single person is special and different in their own way?

No matter how hard I try, the perception of other human towards my friend still bothers her. She has personal issues since she was a kid and the people around her don’t do much to help her overcome that. Time and time again she tries to fit in. She tries her very best to prove that she is capable of achieving whatever that is necessary but people doesn’t seems to care about it. They keep on suggesting that her achievement is never good enough or that she should try harder to achieve things and many other hurtful words.

The things is… how is it that you are not proud of her? Why is it that you keep bringing up the problems she made when she was a kid? SERIOUSLY. Why can’t you just appreciate who she is now. She completed her studies. She is now working. Paying for her own expenses. She doesn’t really ask money from you since… I don’t know…. 5 years ago?? Unless she is really in need. She buys her own toiletries when some people still have their parents pay for their shit even when they now earning 4k!

Why must she try harder to be someone that she’s not? What is it that you really want from her?! Can’t you just leave her alone? You are just being biased for whatever reason there is. Doesn’t she being helpful in terms of finances now? She is being very responsible in whatever way that she could. PLEASE stop making her feel bad about herself and hurt her.

It is impossible for me to comfort her when there are too many things that keep on lowering her spirit. The wound is so deep that regardless if I managed to make her smile or comfort her there will still be the painful smile. I want her to see who and what she is now. I am so proud of every attempt and achievements she made. I am also proud that I am her friend. 

Wherever you are, I want you to know that you are special regardless of what others tell you.  Thank you for accepting and appreciating our differences. I love you babe.
