With a doleful look I stare at myself in the mirror, wondering absolutely nothing.
Just dryly studying myself.
Trying to understand what my eyes are willing to showcase, what my smile indicates, what my external attitude makes me appear to be.
It's basically me thinking of how I always failed to know myself before I started judging others and correcting their mistakes, giving them life advice.
Now that I have known myself to be the only person that came for my rescue when I almost gave away the hope of living, I come to understand, that I must take good care of this beautiful self of mine which definitely would have some flaws, but will always stand upright with a bold firmness and crispness in my voice, head held high and never willing to give up.
NEVER. EVER.
Since it takes courage to not just know your faults but also accept them with absolute support.
It takes effort to appreciate yourself the way you are.
It takes patience to live with who you are.
It takes pride to let the world know the truth of you and it takes not an hour, a day or a year but your whole life to come across the real and actual you.
It's difficult to understand your own words at times, because you are so busy speaking them and letting them flow out of your tongue that you don't even know and nor do you try to understand and explain to yourself as to why, you chose to let those deadly words out of your mouth in the first place.
To avoid this, hang on a second, before you utter even a single word, breathe, keep your calm and think of what you want to say and whatever it is that you have to say, does it even make sense?
Does it not make you look like a fool?
Does it make you against the closest of your friends?
Does it harm you or does it affect others?
If you find out the answers to these simple logical questions then wait, hold on to your words, bite them back and keep them to yourself unless you are really firm in your decision of ever letting them out.
For, you never know, what action of yours might hurt anybody.
After all, it's just a matter of patience, of understanding and acceptance of your own emotions.
