A TRUE TALE: i wasn't always like this

in #life7 years ago

FB_IMG_1522074766651.jpg
Once upon a time, I was a gross,annoying sadist. My presence was hardly felt wherever I was,it seems I was invisible, the little things I did I did them wrong. I couldn't cook,I was lazy, slow to obey, didn't like eating, a pain in the ass. I watched how everyone wanted my sister to be everywhere, my eldest sister would call and ask when she will come visiting, I was available but wasn't needed. I hardly cared about anyone, I felt everybody ought to take care of themselves, it was just about me. What saved me was my conscience, it pricked and judged me,I couldn't silence or kill it.

I admired those that were appreciated by their friends and family, I admired how my sister was wanted everywhere and how everyone gets excited when she is around. I wanted to be that person but I thought I was made this way, to be alone, and detested by all. I knew I had a bright future, I knew there was something in me I needed to let out to the world but I didn't know how to make a move, I was scared of trying, scared of breaking free.

All those are past tense now. Today my sister called me and asked when am coming home that her kids said I should come to their house first. My dad called and asked if I wasn't coming for Easter, my other sister called and said I should come to her house that what am I still doing in school. They missed me......this drove me to tears cause I know who I used to be and who I am today. I know the impact I have made in my family that they now see me as an angel sent to their rescue. I can't go into details but I have impacted hugely in their financial life,emotional and I have been so handy that whenever it's time to return to school, they always plead for me to extend my stay.

It didn't end with my family, I have impacted in friends and people I haven't met. It's almost impossible to know me or have me around and not improve in atleast one aspect of your life. This is still me, the old gross,silly and useless kid, I changed.

There is nothing impossible to achieve, you might not understand this tale cause it's not your feet in the shoe. You might not know how much guts it takes to swap from being a demon to an angel. You might not understand how it feels to be appreciated everyday, making you remember who you used to be,you might not understand what it's like to change from being invisible to the brightest light in the room,just understand that you can be whatever you want to be. Your goal might not have to deal with character, it might be something physical, academical or with profession,whatever it is,you can make it. Believe it,get to action and start scoring.

Thanks for reading and enjoy the rest of your day

Oooh gurlll u said it well, but guess what?ur not alone in that shoes and find ways to be the star n the night which everyone looked up. Two kinds of kid or a person it is, an introvert and extrovert, I'm happy to say I'm on the first one, and so glad that after the time being from young age to be an adult a way out to express once self is slowly shows a transformation as what u call it from intro to extro, time molds us and help us to upgrade our own for our own good also. Yo! Gurl we're out of the shell and now let's spark and light more to inspired others!!! Happy much for you @jeaniepearl I know you feel so much joy and pride inside, steem on!! Hugssssss

Big hugsss and cheers dear
