When someone says, "I want to be just like you," or "Oh, I'm so jealous of you," I'm not sure how to respond. Because it took me many years to be in this stage where I hold my peace more than I hold any relationship that halts its growth. It took me a lot of mistakes to be in this stage where I know now the importance of choosing myself first. It almost took away my breathing life, before I could finally learn to appreciate and love myself more.
I appreciate the gestures, and yet, I can't let them be. There were many failures. Many rejections. Many proven intuitions that I don't entirely belong to "this," and "that." Many heartbreaks and disappointments. Many closed doors. Many unresolved issues.
I was naive or ignorant for the fact that I can't expect that people would treat me the way I treated them. They can't respect me the way I did. Or love me in return, with the same magnitude, that I've given in months or years. Or dedicate their lives the way I've dedicated mine like shredding every piece of me that I cannot take back. And so I must live with the resulting shape and edges that proudly scream my scars in the open.
Sometimes when I hear these, I want to say—
"Don't try to be me. You can do so much more than me. You can be someone—with a name, that should carry such a beautiful legacy. You can be someone who doesn't have to carry a number of old wounds that never heal. You can be someone who didn't have to bargain her self-worth in exchange for harboring temporary attachments.
Don't try to be me. I might have just carried my scars with the willful ability to die and live once more, despite my broken soul."
