JAW'S TALES: Be Proud of Yourself

Hey guys. *Penat* Just came back from BJ Kompleks. Shopping-shopping sikit hari ni. Today, I found a new blog written by a 14 years old student(becoming 15 really soon). I am writing about this because I am really impressed by her advice. I quote,

"yes, you. stop being unhappy with yourself. you are perfect in your imperfections. stop wishing you look like someone else or wishing people liked you as much as they like someone else. stop trying to get attention from those who hurt you. stop hating your body, your face, your personality and your quirks. love them. without those things you wouldn't be you. and why would you want to be like anyone else? be confident with who you are. smile. it'll draw people in. if anyone hates on you because you are happy with yourself then you stick your middle finger in the air and say screw it. dont depend your happiness on others anymore. love your flaws. love your imperfections . they make you you . and you are pretty amazing."

I salute you sister. I love your whole quotation*except for the middle finger thingie*. You're young but so...Oh no. I'm at lost with my words. You know what I mean. So guys, if this small, petite girl can think,write and do something like this, why not us? *I believe most of my blog readers are older than this girl* Maybe some of you think, "Alah...Setakat tulis dalam blog.Kalau dia tipu pun mana kau tau." Haha. Maybe you're right. But, I am inclined to believe this girl wrote what she really felt. I saw her once in a bus. She is like, really-really small *memang kalau korang tengok,you might even say she's a primary school student(sorry if you're reading this sister)*, but, I saw her love for herself. And I believe she has overcome the, "Why am I so small? Kawan aku semua tinggi-tinggi and besar-besar" feeling. I used to have the same feeling too. But because after reading this kind of quote, talked to someone who have superb way of making me feel better, I love myself more than ever. *Apalah yang aku merapu sekarang ni* What I'm trying to say is, love yourselves dudes and babes. I have so many friends who somehow believe in me and they told me what they feel about themselves. And the most common question is, "Kenapa aku dilahirkan kurang ______(apa-apa sifat...eg: tinggi)? Kenapa aku tak dilahirkan _______(yang bertentangan dengan kekurangan yang mereka rasa...eg: tinggi macam Robert Wadlow*tallest man in the world recorded by Guiness).

I know some of you used to think like that. But believe me, that's only what you think. And you should be grateful to God because there are so many tall people who wished they were smaller or shorter. I believe this would be the most common case for girls*hanya jangkaan*. Why? Because many people think someone who are short are cute*right?* For tall girls, they must be worried about how can they find a boyfriend. They are tall and they are making assumptions that no men will like women who are taller than them. Wrong! There are so many men who married a woman taller than them. For example. Bernie Ecclestone the CEO of Formula One Management.

Macam dalam anime Angelic Layer*jangan bagitahu korang tak pernah tengok*, heroin-nya kecik,comel lotte bak kata orang Kelantan dan musuhnya dalam episod 19 bernama Chitose yang merupakan seorang yang tinggi lampai. Chitose said, "You will never understand how hard it feels for a girl to be tall like me. All the boys think that small girls are kawaii*cute/comel* And the heroin, Misaki was really shocked. "I always thought that being tall have its advantages. Only now I know that there people who hate being tall." In the end of that episode, Chitose got herself a boyfriend. LOL. *I sure watch a lot of anime-la* Anyway, my point is, be happy for who you are guys. You might think being fat is a disadvantage and believe me I've heard a girl said she wants a fat guy to be her husband. You might think being a nerd is a disadvantage but you must know there are quite a number of persons who wanted to be like you. So, stop hating yourselves, stop saying something bad about yourselves, and start appreciating yourselves. Like Malcolm Forbes said, "Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are." Don't be like in the song Don't Let Me Get Me by Pink. "Everyday I fight a war against the mirror, I can't take the person starin' back at me, I'm a hazard to myself. Don't let me get me, I'm my own worst enemy".
