It was all in my head. I accepted myself AND the world accepted me.

one very usual morning , I heard a loud voice saying something about me, but it was not understandable,

Until i saw myself in mirror. Voice got as clear to understand as my reflection was.

‘you do not worth this life’ , mirror said to me.

‘Why’ ? I asked louder with perplexed reaction all over my face.

Mirror said, “ you are fat, you are ugly ,and ,on top of that ‘not better like them’.

Them…, who the hell are them? I shouted.

Those people whom you think about every single time, you compare your life your looks and your photos with them …., now do you get it, that is why you don’t deserve this life.

I cried and asked.., ‘what I can do then…. ?’

What do You think about yourself?, mirror asked.

‘I am average in looks ‘ , I guess. And okay kind of person and can make tea, I answered.

“Really…?” this is what you think about yourself, reflection moving his head left and right. with anger.

‘Then what should I say’ , I asked,

I am beautiful… say this.

It is okay if I am fat , I lose weight, say this.

I know I am not perfect so are they, say this.

I love myself , my photos , my life without caring what they think, say this.

A big smile appeared on my face.

See, this is what I am doing from that day, no one else have to love me cause i love myself and say myself I am beautiful.

I know this sounds crazy but less crazy than before, isn’t it?

The more crazier thing is that it works.

I am the first person in my life , who thinks I am beautiful as I am.

Do not wait for the first person who will accept you just be that person.

I am your mirror call ……… Are you ready to take?

I like writing stories and poems because it gives me the chance to connect with others. And that moment, when they say did you write about me?
