The Glass Bubble

I admit that I have trapped myself inside a glass bubble, chained by lock and key. Ever since the days of my youth. I have been bitten by snakes who have claimed themselves to be my friends. I have been harassed for my flaws, defects and imperfections.  I have been left out many times, even by those I call my friends; because of this, I have felt that I wasn't good enough for anyone-and that it was better off to end my story, even if it was abrupt. But then again, those were lies fed to me and it took me a long time to realize this.

Just like hearing about the news of a favorite TV series/anime/K-drama would suddenly be cancelled, It was much more heartbreaking to hear about the sudden end of a loved one's life story-and someone told me, that I can't do that as I would break so many hearts. Ever since then, I have decided to finally lick my old wounds and move on. After all, one cannot embark on a trip whilst carrying heavy amounts of luggage, as it would create a burden-not just for me, but for everyone else who would be in that flight.

Because of this realization, I had to take the next step and that is to accept that despite all the pains of the past; I am not the same person that I was back then, now-I have to power to change things since the old has been washed away and I can start anew with all of my experiences intact. And with that newfound strength, I could finally break free from that glass bubble-slowly, but surely.
