End of Self Pity

pity party

So what is the craziest thing you have done after a breakup ? ๐Ÿค”Maybe eat a tub full of ice-cream๐Ÿง or dive into some rom-com movies or just go on a solo trip somewhere or catch up with your friends ๐Ÿ‘ซor indulge in a rebound. So I would not call it crazy but I have done something remotely annoying, I indulged in self-pity.๐Ÿ™Š And this is the worst kind of pity. It is easy to feel bad for someone else but if the person you are feeling pity for is yourself,well that is really hard. Self pity is not hard but accepting that you have already indulged in self-pity is extremely difficult. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

So what do you do when you have realized that ? So what I thought I could do is adopt a cute little puppy๐Ÿถ just to have a buddy, but my mother is terrified of dogs, so I had to scrap that idea. Now I had to think of some other alternative. I thought that I could read a book๐Ÿ““ and that would help me to understand what my next step should be. Alas! That confused me further more. Tired of my brains I went to the best advisor, “MY MOTHER”๐Ÿ‘ฉ. She told me the only way to stop all the unnecessary self-pity was to start loving yourself๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ˜. Yes,the exact opposite word of self-pity was the answer to all my problems, “SELF-LOVE”. ๐Ÿ˜

So I joined the gym๐Ÿ‹๏ธ and that is when I realized that not only did I love myself and my curves but also respected myself. The only problem was that I let a man define my behavior.๐Ÿ™… This is a universal problem. We women let men decide for us, the way we feel about ourselves, the way we dress, the way we eat, what we eat, etc. What I find difficult to understand is, Why do we allow that?๐Ÿคท It’s not the man’s fault entirely. Nobody would do something to you, if you don’t allow it. If you tolerate the ill things happening to you only then will the person continue doing so. So technically it is your fault.๐Ÿคฆ You allowed this. ๐Ÿ™

I decided to take a good hard look in the mirror and finally decided that I would not allow anyone to demean me. I would not allow anyone to tell me that I am not enough. “ENOUGH! I CHOSE ME NOW “๐Ÿ™ . These were not just words for me, it portraits how I feel about myself.

My mother was reading out all the morning quotes that people send in the morning. You know all the good morning messages ๐Ÿ’Œsent by your entire family which fills up the memory of the SD card,๐Ÿ’ฌ๐Ÿ—ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ she was reading that and one of them read something like this “IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO, BUT IT IS ALSO FINE TO DANCE ON YOUR OWN”.๐Ÿ’ฆ

So to all you readers Self-pity is like the typical diet food,๐Ÿคข looks good on the outside but is completely bland when you taste it, you need to add something to spice it up just like you need to add something to spice up your life. I would go ahead and quote another one from FRIENDS (TV Show) (read my previous article to know what I am talking about),”IT IS A MOO POINT”.๐Ÿค” It is like a cow’s opinion, just doesn’t matter. Self- pity just doesn’t matter.๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ’ฏ

Dating : A Dilemma

As I go through all the other interesting posts, I have this fear that maybe dating and dating app has been the talk of the town for way too long. It makes me wonder why everyone would make this a HOT TOPIC๐Ÿ”ฅ. I thought it was normal to be on a dating app. I thought that since I am single๐Ÿ’ƒ, I have a legit reason to be on this app. Little did I know that my choice or my preference would be questioned in this process. People have now assumed that dating apps are not meant for dating but are meant for hookups ๐Ÿ™Šonly. The problem is when I joined this app I was not aware about this assumption. Little did I know that just cause you like meeting new people and having a good conversation with them, I was inviting everybody in my vicinity to judge me- as I was on a Dating app or rather a “A HOOKUP APP”. ๐Ÿ™‰๐Ÿ’

The person sitting in front of me was not judging me at all but the people around me surely were๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ. It is quite confusing to me as I thought that the vibe ๐Ÿ—จ๏ธ of two people who are meeting for the first time is what matters the most and not what the people around you think of you two. It is like a fat girl is ordering for a pizza๐Ÿ•. The girl might love๐Ÿ’– pizza and the pizza might love ๐Ÿ’–the girl back, but who cares, it is what other people think that matters right. Aaarrrgghhh !!!๐Ÿ˜Ÿ๐Ÿคข I have always been on the heavier side so I completely understand both the situations and the unnecessary eyes๐Ÿ‘€ that are being laid on you makes you more uncomfortable than the pizza ever could. What if the girl who is eating a pizza has been starving๐Ÿค” herself for days and has finally found the strength to love ๐Ÿ’–herself and the only person or people (in this case) that are building a wall for that girl to reach the final stage of self- love are the pedestrians๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿšถ or the people sitting around her giving her the nasty look.๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ

While writing this article, I recalled something that I had seen and fell in love with. We all are aware of the amazing T.V show Friends and for those of you who do not know about it, let me tell you what I was thinking, the scene where Joey was trying to enjoy his ๐Ÿ• pizza and he was told that ” a moment on your lips๐Ÿ‘„ is forever on your hips” , to which he responded by saying, rather shouting that “I AM CURVY AND I LIKE IT” and he proudly ate the last slice of pizza.

So to all you nasty onlookers, “LEAVE THEM ALONE! LET THEM DO AS THEY PLEASE”๐Ÿ™. It applies to both the girl with the pizza and the two adorable people trying to connect.
