From among the thoughts I have read which made me either sad, enlightened, challenged, or encouraged; I am sharing this one to you.
“But why?” Diane asked. “Why take rotten old apples?”
“They’re us,” Amy said.
“Don’t you see?” Lucinda asked, her blue eyes gleaming. “Amy’s right. They’re ugly unlovable things lying on the ground…”
“Till someone picked us up,” Amy whispered. “Till you picked me up, Diane.”
“… We’ll cherish them forever…”
Being lovable is relative.
Some people may find me unlovable — and I acknowledge that I indeed have unlovable traits (and I assume you also feel this way at times). Such makes me down, insecure and unworthy.
There are also those who make me feel appreciated, loved and cherished. No matter how simple their gestures were shown, the feeling of being lovable burst within me. They were the ones who makes my feeling take a 360 degrees turn.
It is heart-warming and unforgetable to feel such from people I least expect to do so; and the feeling is a whole lot better if the appreciation and acceptance come from the ones I care most.
Whenever this happen, I do not feel only beautiful but also more confident to face the challenges that awaits me.
Indeed, both the people involved and the moment will be kept cherished and lingering. Why wouldn’t I, when they played a vital role on who I am today? Right?
P.S. I love to know what you have pondered on this.
