Girl, Worth and Dreams

Girl cries as she says to herself in confusion, ‘but he said he loved me so many times’, so she cries some more because it hurts. It was her third boyfriend, yet it hurts every time

She tries to reason with what she did wrong and at this point she nags the boy, asking him why he doesn’t love her any more.

Now the boy notices not just the girl’s character but her low self-worth and desperation. He loses respect for her, however, she still fails to see the pattern and continues with her questions in order to find closure.

Unfortunately, girl now forgets that worth was born in her; maybe it wasn’t instilled in her or something made her believe that she wasn’t worth it, but every girl should know that worth was born in her.

It’s true that the world is full of influences and hefty role models. But if this girl knew that she was an eagle, born to fly, that she is full of fire and that not even she can hold herself back because her passion burns brighter than her fears, then she wouldn’t lose so much focus on important aspects in her life just for the boy. Because she knows these are only experiences and many many more experiences will find her.

“If you keep on being what you have always been and you keep on doing what you have always done, nothing changes.” Reality is, we all want to be someone in life and we don’t want to disappoint our parents, but most importantly ourselves. Therefore, girls, let’s fly; let’s conquer this life.
