You

Don't you feel sometimes the world is being so unfair to you? Like, it sets you up at a corner, forcing you to stand still, while the rest of them people continue walking past you.

The world didn't stop for you to catch up. It won't wait. If you're left behind, in a different time zone, then you have to push yourself.

You're 31 but you still think of the times when you were in your 20s. How you wish you could turn back time. How you wish you should have gone places. How you wish you could have a bigger car, bigger house and bigger pockets. How you wish you could have done this instead of that. How you wish things were easy for you. How you wish you could ease into conversations and be more extrovert and friendly.

You have diseases we called regret and envy. Curable only if you put your mind to it. If being envious makes you stronger and work harder, by all mean, go for it. It's only when it deters you from doing something worthwhile, you should let it go. It's destructive.

It will destroy the friendship you built and the people you love. It's unhealthy. You are a gone case.

So the world is being unfair, life is not fair either, but are you being fair to yourself? Give yourself a chance. You have so much going for you. You just lack confidence. Cry if you want to, but baby, look at your life differently.

You are courageous when others won't even leave their nests.
You are kind in a crazy world where people backstab each other.
You are fascinating while some are just vain and plain dull.
You have life experiences when others have money.
You smile when others frown.
You love when other people have hatred.
You care when others are busy being selfish.

Does it matter what people think of you? Well, maybe a little, but hey, this is who you are. You may not be beautiful or smart, but you've been given all these great qualities to be proud of. Let's be brave and face this.

You matter, darling, you matter.
