Little did i realize ever that me and my school mates from Grade 2 till 10 have possessed the highest quality of character that even the most groomed and aged women does not achieve before certain age.
Self Love! Self Respect!
We were about 13 girls who started knowing each other in grade 2 and been together for 8 years of school. We fought, too much, we annoyed teachers, students even seniors. We used to play cricket like no one is watching, and similarly we used to take pictures like no one else exist. We never cared about being called "difficult" because we never disappointed our teachers in studies. So we basically earned that privilige. Once we got the boys locked up in a class room for 30 minutes, because we wanted to finish our 4 overs cricket match. But with all those years of togetherness and time, there was one common denominator we still have, and may be it was in our personalities and we never realized it.
We never dressed up or looked good for any person, we always and still are doing for ourselves.
We communicated with each other on and off when school was over but after few years, when we met and talked to each other, i noticed this that we have been the same in this personality trait, that we love ourselves and we always present ourselves how we want us to be, not how someone has told us. We dress up in ways that we like, we let our hair down or up as we want to. From rougish tom boys to hot professionals (yes we all are hot) we elevated our ranks and changed our looks the way we like them. And not how my husband or her boyfriend asked us to be. Just how i want to look.
So dear girls, going through a phase or endless agony of whether you will be accepted or not, mark my words, you need to love and respect yourself, above all and that makes you glow, far better than the servants of acceptance.
Beautifully put
