Ladies and gentlemen, do we need to
let others to define our life?
I don’t know if this exactly
happened to me, but this started when I used to make others laugh and to make them
feel entertained. Those people think that I’m funny and blissful; but here’s
the truth - yes, I am funny, but I’m not a clown; I look hilarious, but I’m not
a comedian . I don’t need to be a clown or a comedian to make people laugh, for
I am nobody but myself. I, who draws pictures of happy moments in every living
creature. And I, who doesn’t mind whatever will I be look like; just for the
sake of making others laugh.
Oftentimes, I’m aware that I look
strange whenever I’m doing such things. Some people call me crazy, others call
me nuts. This has been the difficult times of my life, wherein I should decide
if I’ll stop making fun of myself or simply stop doing such crazy things and
just change myself.
Actually, I tried to become the one
who does normal things, and I said to myself, “I won’t behave this way anymore.”
After that, I started to see sad
and worried faces, but still, I turned a blind eye. I’m aware that I am that Vannerie
who’s fond of making others happy yet I’ve changed myself in an instance for I
just want to stop others to criticize me?
Honestly, I got hurt knowing the fact that I’ve changed. I’ve changed for myself for I am selfish.
As days passed, I felt that my boat
had lost a thousand men. My life is bound between a rock and a hard place. By
this, I realized that I need to make every day of my life count. And how would
I do it? It is by making people happy again. Doing such made my life regain
back its meaning. Now, I have a new boat and the number of its men was doubled.
I never regretted what happened in
my life before. In fact, I’m giving a handful of thanks to those who called me
crazy, nuts, and whatsoever. From now on, I’ll never be easily affected by
these obstacles again, ‘cause you know what? I’ve had them. Everybody has had
them. Obstacles and criticisms don’t have to stop me making people happy. Don’t
let your future be ruined by a bunch of ugly monkeys.
Ladies and gentlemen, don’t let
others define your life; just be yourself; because an original is worth more
than a copy.
