This is my 2nd writing on Novni. This writing is going to be very different from my 1st writing. So, I decided to pour my heart out a bit because I can't express how I really feel in my day to day life because I'm scared of all those judgements that people are going to throw at me.
I'm a teenager living a middle class life. I'm studying and working at the same time. So far my life in past 18 years has been pretty eventful and by that I mean I have seen lots and lots of ups and downs. But all those ups and downs have made me mentally very strong. The reason why I'm writing all of this is because there are certain things that I want to share with you guys.
I'm a type of person whom you can tell anything to and I would instantly believe you because I feel like the way I am like a very easy going and straightforward kind of a person that's how everyone is. But guess what my friend, some people aren't like what I thought they would be. I have been tricked and fooled many times by friends and even by my own extended family. You know to be used by your friends still doesn't hurt as much as being used by your own extended family. That hurts the most and to be honest after that you don't even want to believe or trust anyone. It breaks you as a person.
I have been "used" by my own extended family many many times and that also by those people whom I trusted the most and I always thought that they always considered me as their younger sister but I was so wrong. Honestly, it's good to find out who is yours and who is only using you. I know it would hurt you emotionally but at least you would know who you can rely on. When I got to know about their true faces, I was devastated. But after crying for 2 days, I decided that they are not worth it. So, starting from that day, I decided to distance myself from them because I didn't want their negative energy around me.
I'm happy now that I know who's going to be beside me in both my good and bad times. One advice I would like to give all of you is that DO NOT change yourself for others because trust me there so many people out there who are just using you for their own benefit. Know your worth and don't settle for any less! I have tried to be the "understanding" and "mature" person in every single relationship of mine, (btw I'm not talking about any sort of romantic relationships) and that's the reason why people used to use me for their own benefit is because I used to change myself, my personality so that they would like me. Today, I realised how wrong I was to do that and that's the reason why I'm sharing all of this with you so that you guys don't make the same mistakes that I did.
Remember one thing that there are many people who would talk behind your back and would always demotivate you and the reason to that is JEALOUSY. People are jealous because they know that you are doing something good and that's why they can't stand it. So, BE YOURSELF!
