SHORT STORY19 Comments on WHO AM I? (A SHORT STORY) BY EUNICE OYEKUNLE

WHO AM I ?

Being the last born of my family, I have three elder ones. My two older siblings are fair. My brother and I seems to be conspicuously different one- we are dark. 

 

 

As I grew up, people would ask me:

 

 

“Why are you not fair like your siblings?”

 

 

I will be like: “I am not God nah.”

 

 

Some would go to the extent of saying that I am not as beautiful as they are. I do wave their not-too-good comments aside but deep within, I cared a lot.

 

 

I started to question God, asking Him why He made my complexion not to be as fine as that of my sisters. But that was then, I now love the lady I am becoming.

 

 

In our world today, the rate at which youths commit suicide is so alarming and it is rising astronomically. If we find out about the reason of the increase in the rate of suicide killings, it’s low self esteem.

 

 

Many people do not like their complexion, body shapes and heights. They compare themselves about their peers. They pay attention so much to the negative comments of people about them.

 

 

Many youths have lost focus, they can’t try new things because they have this negative mentality about them that they are not up to the task. I was like that before, but by the grace of God, things are not the same anymore. The lord has been helping.

 

 

 

Words can form and shape our thinking. Our mindset is a great determinant of how people perceive us. If you look down on yourself, expect people to look down on you.
Words have very great weight. They have the ability to define us.

 

 

Anytime I am consumed with the feelings of timidity and inferiority complex, I tell myself that:

 

I am enough
My life is not ruled by opinions of other people
I am enough
I am God’s treasure
I am unique and precious in my own way
I am beautifully and wonderfully made
I am God’s special one

 

 

Start confessing positively and believe in yourself and you will see yourself becoming a better person.

I hope we have learnt something. God bless you.
