One thing that people don't understand about me

people don't understand that i'm probably one of the best people they will ever meet.

(school context)

ah but you're too busy backstabbing me, someone you barely know.

ah but you're too busy judging me and making up things about me instead of getting to know me.

ah but you're too busy looking at me weird when i try to talk to you and hold a conversation that could be fun, only if you put in some effort.

ah but you're too busy flaunting your social power, pretty people power, and big-group-of-friends power.

i could go on and on.

but it's okay, i won't.

i have done nothing but be kind, humble, and considerate to these people. it's okay, it hurts a lot but i have to go through this to learn - this will build my character. it's okay, i will not settle for people who dislike me when i'm at my worst. it's okay, there are a lot of things i am grateful for and blessings i should focus on instead.

aw man i'm so excited (but patient) until i get to that period in my life where i look back on this and think, "if only i could tell my younger self that i would make it. that it would all work out. i'm so proud of her." i'm so excited for that!

i'm excited for when the blood, sweat, tears, sacrifices, extra effort, heartache, and sleepless nights will pay off :)

if i can do it, you can do it!
