You said I must eat so many lemons,
'cause I am so bitter.
I said I'd rather be with your friends mate,
cause they are much fitter
me.
I kick asses.

the problem with what i have right now is that i am just not sure if what i think is mine, is really mine. this trust thing is tricky, ain't it?
and thanks to a long-lost nursery school friend, i figured out a way to make myself feel better about being me (cos i have all these self-esteem issues blahdeeblahdeeblah). look for a nice smiley happy picture of yourself that was taken when you were 3 or 4, and frame it up. you could have been at the zoo playing at that dirty pool (i am sure you guys know about that heavily-chlorinated-leaf-strewn pool), or at ur birthday party with all your little friends around you, or just at home beaming proudly from having all those toys around you. then just take a moment and look at the photo. it's that moment that makes all the difference.
mine was a picture of me after my 2nd birthday party, with all my toys around me. i was sitting in this little red toy car that my uncle got me, hugging this HUGE teddy bear (it was twice the size of me) and grinning like a cat, like i was in on a little secret that the rest of the world was oblivious to. it was just between me and my teddy bear. it brought back something in me, something i had forgotten in this past 3 years. i stopped valuing myself and i stopped loving myself, eventhough i had so many reasons not to do so. and at that very moment, it struck me, that i should never ever feel bad about being me.
cos' i would never look at that girl in the picture, and tell her that she wasn't good enough for a guy. period.
