Flaw #1:
I have a fear of socializing. I know the first thing that
snapped inside that meat of yours: “WHAT?” Yep. I theorized it might be the
reason that resulted my introversion. But I just can’t control it. No matter how
much I try to breathe, no matter how much I try to stay calm, it always jumps
right back, and digs its nails right into my brain, having control on my
thoughts entirely.
I remember before, whenever I used to talk to my mom in
public, the thoughts would compltetly control me. It was almost like panic
attacks… How do I explain this more clearly? It’s like, feeling as though the
entire world is judging you negatively. It’s feeling very, very small when
conversing. It’s feeling as though people hold this form of superiority while you’re
the vulnerable, impotent little pauper. It’s anxiety. It’s not being able to
make an appointment at the salon. It’s not being able to reply. It’s… so hard
to explain. It’s not just being “shy” it’s ten thousand times more than that.
It’s feeling defeated at the end of every conversation, or any interaction,
because you were just too humiliating.
Just picture this. I presented something, a research thing;
presentation about The Renaissance, or whatever. Exteriorly, I spoke, went back
to my seat, and another person got up to present. Interiorly however is an
entirely different atmosphere, my mind is enveloped by destructive thoughts, my
heart thudded, rather than pumped, and a stone stretched my neck, as it forcefully
pushed the tears out of my eyes, but I knew perfectly well how to swallow them
back. I was humiliated; actually, I was always humiliated. My actions were all
humiliating. I am a humiliation.
Flaw #2:
I cry easily. It’s as
simple as that. I almost cried in Toy Story 2, I cried when my dad scared my
cat, yeah; I’m sixteen by the way! I even cry when I’m happy. But, I always try
my best to always cry privately. When my dad hit my cat, I sat in my room, and cried
until the tears ran out. laugh all you want.
It’s just because I was a huge crier as a kid, I mean I
still am, but I couldn’t hold it in back then, as I do now. The only reason I
cry privately is to avoid humiliation, so in a way, this fault is connected to
my previous one.
Flaw #3:
My eyes look like they’re about to fall out my face, my
eyebrows are freakish, my ears stick out a little, I have a burn on my calf, I
lack vitamin D, my lips are chapped, I have the darkest, and most prominent
under eye circles, and tired lines, my eye lashes are too short, my facial
structure is too big, and I think I look like a boy.
I am not perfect; in fact, I am a big ball of imperfections,
an ocean! If I must. I’m the girl everyone would like to avoid, I’m the girl who’d much rather watch TV in
her favorite pajamas, rather than go to some party with her friends. I’m the
girl who’d cancel any outing, because her favorite TV show is on in a couple of
minutes. I’m the girl who’d eat like a cow, just because she can. I’m the girl
who goes out with pajamas under her abaya, with no makeup whatsoever. I’m the
girl who spends hours, and hours on her computer, watching countless videos on youtube,
and learning absolutely nothing. I’m
also, that girl, who fangirls over any random picture, video, or gif of her
favorite celebrity. I’m the girl who
sings, and dances like a freak, in her bedroom, just because she wants to. I’m the socially awkward, and clumsy daughter
who’d spill the guests drinks, and embaress her mother. I’m that retarded
friend, who would love to spend the entire day doing the most idiotic things
for… no obvious reason, really.
My main point is, I’m okay. I’m fine. Even with my flaws,
and my imperfections, I’m just fine. I mean I like being weird. I like randomly
singing in a loud voice, I like dancing like a drunken homeless man, and I’m
sorry you guys- the people who are just not ‘okay’ with it- just can’t get over
yourselves. I’ll be me. I’ll be my idiotic, filled-with-flaws self, and I’ll
flaunt my goddamn, disturbing flaws.
P.S. Literarily, this must be the worst piece I have ever
written in my life, because all I want to do, is get this message cross
instantly. And plus, how do I send this message of being okay with your
imperfections, with a perfectly written piece?
And thank you, for keeping up with my terribly beautiful
writing.
