No, she wasn’t extra ordinary. No, she wasn’t breathtakingly beautiful. No, she didn’t have a kind heart or even a soul. She wasn’t a person I should be losing sleep over.
This was the woman I had implanted in my head to be out of this world. Why?
He would bring her up constantly, he would tell me she was around waiting for him, for him to give her a chance. She was ready to fight the world by his side. All he had to say was yes. This is a speech I’ve heard a hundred times and one that I didn’t like hearing. With every fall out he brings her up to seed this thought in my head that if I don’t give in now I would be losing him to her. The girl who portrayed perfection, the picture he drew was nothing less.
But she’s just another woman, one like me. No she doesn’t stand out in a crowd. But I grew insecure over the image I had built up in my mind. I obsessed over this and grew blue for days.
But then one fine day, she walks into the same cafè that I was in. I saw her and it hit me, she’s just like me. She’s ordinary as I am.
So don’t let men manipulate you into thinking you are any less good, they do this so you’ll lose yourself and your confidence and that’s only when they feel safe enough. How many men out there can handle a woman at her best? Let her fly and trust she’ll always come home to you. Do you really need to cut her wings off because you have your issues and you’d rather be certain than take a chance with this little bird you’ve fallen for? When you change who they are, they forget to fly. When you trap them, they forget all the amazing things they are.
Let them fly, let them love. Let them embrace their reality, just have faith.
