Random

Hey guys, this is not a new update to our story as the title states it’s just random.

People crave different things in life, some crave wealth. Some crave power, some crave freedom, some crave popularity, some crave fame and some crave love.

And this is what the girl craved, she wanted to be loved, she craved affection and love from all the people around her, her parents, sister, teacher, grandparents, peers, and even random people in the society.

With her being the second kid, all her parents attention was always on her sister, they fussed over her but they had the right to. She was the golden girl, bright, beautiful and smart.

They were proud of her. And the girl was always at the corner looking at her parents beam at her sister with affection. She didn’t like school and she didn’t have any inspiration to do anything. Maybe if she could be like her sister people would love her.

But she wanted her parents to love her, she made up her mind, she’d be bright as her sister, smart as her and social like her.

She started studying hard in school, reading random facts just so she could hold a conversation with people, she socialized as much as she could, made new friends.

Things changed, people started paying attention to her, and her grades caught the teacher’s attention and even her parents. She talked to the elder neighbors around and they all smiled and conversed with her happily, she made new friends at school who wanted to be tutored by her.

It was all going good for her. But at this time her sister was out of the country studying. She basked in the attention.

People called her smart and she liked it, her parents fussed over her and she basked in their attention.

And then her sister was back and all her parents attention was back on her, but she didn’t give up. They weren’t a well off family so she used almost all of her tuition loan helping his parents and they were thankfully.

She took her friends out to lunches and dinners, bought them drinks and they always smiled and held her hand. They loved her.

But then she slipped, her grades faltered, the tuition money was never enough to take out her friends anymore. They left and she no more had friends. Her teachers didn’t pay attention to her anymore since her grades were no longer the best and her parents were fussing over her elder sister.

It was all for nothing, she had thought.

Then one day at the library she saw a book titled love yourself. She picked it up trying to read it, by the end of the day she was taking it home with her, awake all night reading.

And when dawn rolled placing the book on her night stand. She realized one thing; she was doing it all wrong, seeking love from others she never had time for herself.

She never loved herself and that’s why she craved love from somewhere else. She realized that no one would ever love her as much as she would love herself and that self love was the best love.

Even though self love comes as a hard thing to some people, it is always the best, since no matter what you do no one would ever love you enough except yourself.

Many of us in  life struggle with loving ourselves, struggle with how other people want us to be, living per other people expectations, they shape us to the extent we forget who we are but your never late to love yourself, you still have that opportunity, so don’t waste it.

LOVE YOURSELF.

Hey guys!

So as I said before this was random, very random. This story is true to some extent to my real life.

I’m one of those people who have a struggle to love and embrace themselves, and if I said I really love who I’m, I’d be lying. I’m not there yet, but working towards it.

That’s why I wrote this random story; I want it to be a reminder to me and all those people who struggle with self love. So please I ask you don’t be harsh about it. But encouraging comments would be appreciated.

Also don’t be confused this is not an update to our story but to tell you, our story has only one more chapter and the book will come to an end, so look forward to it.
