“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly”
Now this is something to think about. Some of you may think “who cares, it’s just nature having its way” but I think people have similar metamorphoses.
I’m sure that every single one of us has been faced with a bully once. If you weren’t the one who was being bullied, you were the one who was bullying. The bullies always think they’re better, smarter, cooler, better looking… When in fact, the ones who are being bullied are the ones who are good, smart, cool, good looking, just in a different way. And because they are being bullied for some ridiculous reasons (like not being a part of the rich family, wearing glasses, having curly hair, not having a size zero…) they think something is wrong with them and nobody wants to be their friend because people keep saying they are “strange”..
Some of you may have already guessed, but when I was little, I have been bullied as well for ridiculous reasons. At least, now I realize that. But because I was the one who was being bullied, I always thought that people didn’t like me, because of my hair, because of my family, because of my good (!) grades, because of how I look…
But I have grown up and I got wiser. Now I realize I am worth knowing. I know I don’t have a size zero but that’s okay because ZERO ISN’T A SIZE. I graduated high school easily and now I enjoy college. I couldn’t be more proud of my family. My life is going great and I’m quite happy with who I am and what I have right now.
And not so long ago, I saw one of those bullies again. We hadn’t seen each other in a few years, and somehow, the roles had turned. Now she was the one who was looking a bit strange. Now she was the one who didn’t have a size zero but more like a size thousand. She dropped out of high school and is still unemployed..
When she was a flower, I was the caterpillar.
Now she’s withered and I have turned into a butterfly!
Revenge can be so sweet.
