my early life
Prelude: my early life.My early life hasn't ever been a bed of roses...not in my babyhood, not in my teenage..not ever. I have been shaped by the cruel hand of fate. Or I should say, in all fairness it is my friends who are to blame for everything I am today-good or bad, kind or unkind, or simply the pale and quiet individual that I have become, but never was earlier. The greater part of the change necessarily happened in the second school in my current city. This is to do again,with the topic I have discussed ad nauseum, i.e. the way I look .Seriously, does it even matter?But to these guys whom I considered my friends, it apparently did.I clearly remember one particular incident when I had put up a february fair stall on valentine's day...I had helped with the theme decoration, stall setup as well as hands-on work, logistics and all the other stuff that had to be done. But two classmates who were my ' business partners ' along with five others, were passably pretty. There you go, they didn't do as much work as had to be done, but they were praised for their efforts, clothing, sales, whatever while I was the constant recipient of veiled as well as open potshots directed at my looks...tell me, how is that fair?I was much more proactive than them in the work, and better at creativity as well..and frankly only after I passed out of that school did I realise that I'm not that ugly either.I have also been praised for my fashion sense all the time...but all said and done, these are the people still responsible for my low self image.AND I HATE THEM FOR IT!
