It's fascinating how easy it is to compliment others

Sometimes they don't deserve it but we still want to put a smile on their faces

Why can't we do the same to ourselves?

Why do we have to think long and hard about why we should be happy?

We can't compliment ourselves and others' compliments seems decieving to us?

The reason why we should be happy is numerous

But the major one is that we are alive

You are you, I am me and that's what makes us unique

Let's stop comparing ourselves to others because they're not you neither are you them

You deserve to be loved so let it start from you

All that stare back at me when I look into the mirror is a little girl

Broken,violated and caged

Scarred in so many ways thought impossible

Many from cigarette butts

Many from whips,canes and ropes

Manu from useless baseless experiments

Many from spanks and slaps

So many like tribes from intrusions

So many from surgeries, six at least

She looks so small and scared it makes me whimper

It is inhinhumane to do such a thing to a little girl

At least I was saved, though late

There are others out there that I must save

P.S: So many people are facing unimagineable things, because it hasn’t happened to you doesn’t mean it isn’t real. No step or help is too small.

@acescribblers

I am fourteen,I may be too young to truly understand you but I can come from my angle.

I am an introvert,I never ever open up not even to my parents.I rarely have a conversation with anybody not because I was proud but because I believed that I really didn't matter.You could strangle me and I won't say anything because I believed my life wasn't worth anything. I used to envy others and say 'Why am I so different?'

Anytime I have a good day I would cry throughout the night because I didn't want to go back to being terrible and hopeless.I continued that way,every night I cried myself to sleep because I felt so useless and lonely. When I got to grade 7,I started talking to people not because I changed my orientation but because 1 didn't want to look so different.I never really said what was going through my mind I only said what they wanted me to say.I never let anyone too close for comfort. I thought about suicide but I couldn't afford to suffer in hell for taking human life even if it was mine. Anytime I hold a knife I feel afraid of myself cause I knew what I really wanted.When I got to grade 11,I started walking with a girl. I had lost who I really was but I started to like her like really like her. If she is sick I would feel like my heart was tearing,I couldnt bear to see her in tears. I started feeling human with true emotions.I had started to value my life because I had someone who loved me. Everyone in the school knew us together but one day it started heading south. She started to think she was better than me. One time she called me a thief. I became more foolish than I was before. I closed up but I still deeply cared for her. The moment she abused my family I knew she had crossed the line.I never deeply cared for my family but I couldn't stand someone thinking less of them. I had become too used to silence that my silence was eating me up. I wanted to say so much to her but I couldn't because I felt I wasn't worth it. My silence started to get the best of me and I fell into depression.I felt the urge stronger than ever to take my life.

One day I read Genesis 1. I loved nature so I was just curious to how it came to exist,then I came across Genesis 1:26. The creator of the mesmerizing sky,trees,waters, animals saw me worthy than all he had created to be created in his image. I felt so loved and I said to myself 'If he who made me loves me why should I the creation hate myself. Why should I care about the opinion of others who are less than my Maker'

I then never thought of killing myself because I didn't want to disappoint God who loves me so much but I still felt inferior. Then one day I thought of a life of only people like me in the world.It was so pathetic and pitiful. Then I said to myself ' God didn't create me alone in this world so I could see my worth becausebecause my difference is what makes me unique and special.

Your life is worth more than you could ever know. You don't need to feel insecure or worthless because your potter made you the perfect way.

Have you ever thought why we didn't come with a manual?

Because life with a manual is boring.

Just keep in mind that your life matters to someone up above and he loves you more than you could ever imagine.

I am not an open person so I can't say to tell people in your life or not.

But I really hope I helped you even just a teeny tiny little bit.

I dislike this on and off feeling

One time I feel like I am on top of the world

And other,at the bottom of the world

I want to seek help

But what exactly would I say

I can’t really describe it with words

I feel like darkness is crawling in but I can't seem to come into light

I know what I am meant to do

But I can't bring myself to do it

But I can't bring myself to do iit

My pois self is clawing begging to be set free

But I just can't let it out

And I also can't let it stay

I am confused

I know that suicide isn't the answer

But why does it come to my mind repeatedly

Why does it wander back no matter how many times I cast it out

Cause I can only feel suicidal

But I am to weak to commit suicide

I just can’t describe this feeling bubbling within me

I feel an attraction

Like someone’s calling my name

Telling me I am perfect because my potter is perfect

Telling me I am beautiful because my potter is stunning

Telling me I don’t have to be like someone else

Telling me my life is perfect because God is in it

Telling me I don’t need people’s acknowledgement

That I need just one

The acknowledgement of my potter

A creator defines his creation

So God defines me

If he says I am doing well, then I am

If he says I am beautiful,then I am

For I am his creation,his work

I am a child of God

I drown, going deeper and deeper

I struggle to swim despite my filled lungs

But as I try to swim, the pull down into the depths increased

It is like I have no other choice

Like a game

I have to play it the way the creator want

My insides are screaming for life

But my body isn't willing to comply

I am lazy but it sounds like more

Like a paralysing force

That puts my body in lockdown

Unable to struggle any longer

I drown deeper and deeper

My insides giving up with a thought

'Is this what my life is worth?'

All my life I knew

That this wasn't my place

I had a race to ace

My place was much higher

I had tons of questions for the life giver

Life was meant to be fairer

Where is my place?

Life is moving at a fast pace

And in me is a hidden trace

Even if I have to climb Mount Everest,I don't care

Or swim through the Antarctic ocean,I don't mind to dare

As long as I get there

This life is a preparation for eternal life

Don't stop at good, make your good better

And your better best

Everyone was created for a purpose. Your purpose differ from mine ,your mom,dad,siblings, friends or relatives. Talents are embedded in everyone each different from another.

God,the great architect and Potter made man,each unique on his own. We envy people. We make unnecessary wishes and assumptions. Sometimes we are even ashamed of ourselves.We look for love, we earn love but the question is by what means?

We should be loved for who we are not who we portray ourselves to be. Why go through challenges to be who you aren't and not fulfil your purpose? It doesn't worth it.

If they lose you it is their loss not yours. You design who you want to be not them. You determine who you are not them.

In any situation you find yourself remember to be yourself. You are unique on your own. Forgive yourself,love yourself and remember to be grateful to your creator who made you well.

Life is a bitter sweet experience

Pain mixed with happiness

Sorrow mixed with joy

Life is a school

Problems and challenges are the curriculum

They come and go

All situations have a solution

What great difficulty it is to get that solution?

Endurance and perseverance is essential

Every mistake and error teaches us a lesson

We live only once

We shouldn’t be like leaves that lack true roots

We should face everything that comes our way with bravery

Let us live based on quality not quantity

Nothing is permanent in this world except change

So let us make life count
