What is wrong about being different?

"HEY, YOU'RE SO DARK, EW!"
"WHY ARE YOU WEARING THOSE FREAKY CLOTHES?'
"HEY, WHY ARE YOU WEARING UGLY CLOTHES?"
"WHY YOUR FOREHEAD IS SOOO WIDE?"
"YOU'RE SO WEIRD!"

Yeah, as you can see those utterances came from people when they saw me. Being bullied when I was a kid, it makes me realized that human does not merely live as they are, but they live for judging other people. Especially, when you are different than them, WOW it is a perfect time for them to judge, to bully, to comment you.

I was bullied when I was a kid, because of my dark skin and my curly hair. They would see me as an alien cause they said I am ugly. They hid my things. They locked me in a classroom. They ordered me to do what they want. Yea that is bad. It hurts whenever I tried to reminiscing those bad moments. Even though it happened like ten years ago, still hurts and stained.

I mean, there's nothing wrong having a dark skin and curly hair. God creates you, not human. I cannot choose my skin, my ethnic, and my parents. God creates me. So, what's wrong? ok, let me tell you. They can judge you, they can comment you, but you also have a rights to not listen to their trashy comment or judge. Remember, there is a significant difference between a critic and merely a judge.

I was once lost. cause I listened to them! I was intimidated by words "You're dark!". I tried everything to look more "white", looking for any products to whiten my skin, to straighten my hair. Turns out, the result was nothing. The results are worse than the worst. I was angry to myself. I was angry to my parents. I was angry to God. Why I am like this? I felt like the ugliest and the worst of the worst person in this indescribable universe.

can say that being bullied when I was a kid led me to be a 'tough' person. It created the current me. I dealt with anything. PAIN, JUDGE, SHAME. Being rejected? betrayed? ostracized? hahaha. I felt that. Once, I thought it was nothing. "it is not to be something", later. I feel okay, well i am trying to feel okay. I do not know whether the pain that I carried throughout these years, would explode in an unpredictable time or not. who knows? being "tough" does not mean I do not feel pain. I feel it, always. ok 

I  just do not understand, why people who humiliates other people do not ever think on the impact that they made? does it make them feel good? DOES HUMILIATE AND DEGRADE OTHER PEOPLE MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD? DOES IT MAKES YOU BETTER? NAH. IS THEIR LIFE ALREADY PERFECT SO THEN THEY JUDGE AND HUMILIATE OTHERS? IDK.

So, please please watch your mouth, be careful of what you are saying to others and remember that human are diverse. In this case, not because the beauty standards told you that "White skin is the beautiful one, Straight hair is the beautiful one, Slim is the beautiful one, Tall is the beautiful one, Clear skin is the beautiful one and another fuckin beauty standards." and when you do not have those, you are ugly. No. It is not. It is just how these toxic society made it. Can you imagine if people are the same physically? It is weird. There's nothing special. 

For you who feel you're different, NO! YOU AREN'T BAD, YOU AREN'T UGLY, YOU AREN'T DIFFERENT. 

YOU'RE SPECIAL, HONEY. 

No matter, what your skin, body, hair, height, weight, even your religion, belief, race, nationality, and sexual orientation. Only being good or bad that determines you as human. The real human does not humiliate, degrade, and ostracize other human and another living creatures.

We are all the same, cause we poop, we breathe, we eat. 



love, A.
