Why Me GOD? Why Me?
I know I am not a teenager and I shouldn't care about what people will say or be embarrassed about who I am. I have studied well, I had an amazing job and now again studying in India's top management institute and working on my passion. But still I feel belittled when people laugh at me for being fat or feel embarrassed when gym instructor calls out my name(to inquire about my presence). I still feel like a plump kid who is made fun of by little monsters in the playground. I still feel that there is some internal joke of which I am butt of.
Had I been a teenager I would have cried but now I just respond by being equally savage and ruthless. I bitch about my life, I taunt people who make fun of me and shout at people whom I really care about.And on top of it I cant eat any comfort food like chocolates. I realize that it is kind of bad for health to fill up your insecurities but its so easy and comforting. The smooth melt of chocolate and caramel is electric; instantly all is well in the world again. And the vicious circle continues.
But this time it changes. I CHANGE.
If people make fun or laugh or say thingsabout me, I would try my level best to move on.........
Trying one's level best to move on is half the battle.

DeleteHaving spent fifteen months of the last three years in India, I'd forego chocolate any day for the wondrous food of your country which I love second only to my own.
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed your writing but realize how difficult it is to endure the cruel comments of others, especially children. Good that you are aware of your tremendous accomplishments.
Thanks RNSANE for the encouragement. And you were forensic nurse... WoW!!! Is it as interesting as it is shown in American TV series???
