To all the beautiful ducklings

When I was a small kid, probably around the time I was in my 4th grade, I used to think that I was the ugliest duckling to ever live in this planet. Even if it was true, unfortunately it brought along a ton load of insecurities with it. The insecurities made me behave like an outcast amongst others and I would end up doing the stupidest things an 8 year old could have possibly done. There was a phase during  that period when after a good bath I used to apply a gob of coconut oil on to my clean face.  I don’t remember my logic at that time behind applying oil on my face but it somehow made me FEEL like I looked good. And then there was another phase where I would apply oodles of talcum powder on my face as if somebody accidentally dropped a can of flour on my head and  it fell all over my face! Then there was also a short period of time when I applied eye kohl outside my eyes and scared the shit out of people  even during the brightest of the day light. It’s not like my parents didn’t bother about their only daughter behaving like a frikking lunatic, but how can they keep an eye on a kid for 24*7 when she has unlimited access to coconut oil and talcum powder! That’s Kerala for you! 😀 If I sit down with anyone in my family as well as my extended family and start talking about my childhood I can hear them reminiscing over my legendary shenanigans of such sorts because as much as everyone tried to make me take it easy on those coconut oil and talcum powder, I never EVER budged.

When my 8 year old self looked into the mirror, she saw many flaws in her face. She didn’t like her overcrowded and zigzag teeth, she didn’t like her tiny eyes which disappeared into thin lines when she smiled, she didn’t like her wide mouth, she didn’t like her unibrows, she didn’t like her tiny forehead and also the fact that she was not fair like the girls she saw in Television (That’s India for you!) These insecurities almost ruined my chances to enjoy the childhood and have fun because I became shy and reserved in public. I’m still an awkward person when I meet people but things have changed drastically from that of the 8 year old who had a pretty shallow mind set. I now know for a fact that your life or anyone’s life for that matter does NOT revolve around their looks and it definitely shouldn’t interfere with you enjoying your life. I’ve learned to embrace my skin color as something beautiful and I’ve become grateful for a fully functioning facial organs!

Now, when I look into the mirror from time to time, I still have some insecurities creeping in, but it never makes me want to change anything about it because I’ve learnt to accept it as my own unique identity. I wish I could tell all the women in this world to feel a little more beautiful inside and feel a little less insecure about their looks and body but it’s something most of us cannot control. We live in a society where everyone is judged on their physical appearance first and the need to look good and be a certain way has become a form of acceptance for the most. But the moment these insecurities hit you, I want you to think of the less fortunate people in life, the people who are struggling to even lead a normal life and be grateful for what we are blessed with. Remember, happy girls are the prettiest and if girls to women everywhere are kind and gentle to each other I’m sure we wont even need a mirror in the future. 🙂

Have a good day/ night everyone 🙂

I’m an ordinarily odd person who is pleasant to talk to. When I’m not trying to be funny, I would be lying on the floor bawling my eyes out. I write weird stories, real life snippets, traumatic and dramatic memories along with doses of unsolicited advices. 🙂
