The Comparison

I heard a story of my friend

She cried a lot that day

She felt so shame about her body

She felt uncomfortable after her ex being so critical with her body

Her ex compared her body to other girls

Let’s say his exes

With a perfect body, lean fat around the belly, arms, and leg

Great moaning when started to make love

Flawless skin with no spots and speckles

The things that she doesn’t have

But she has a beautiful thing at heart

The thing that you rarely find in other

She’s one of a kind with sharp mind and dorky manner

She’s unique

She cursed herself, she said that she’s not even a woman

I felt for her

Heartache

I feel so bad with his ex

I feel want to chomp his head

The attitude of mind is important

It’s not about the gender thing, but at least we try to be mindful with flaw and imperfection

That makes us feel better to see the world and difference

And also to make us feel better to ourselves

Shaping our mind is the hardest thing, because we need to adjust the other point of views

It’s uneasy way to be more open and diverse

But starts to see the flaw in ourselves, not others

Be mindful, aware, and doing acceptance of ourselves

This is like homework of our entire life

We just can’t shape our mind by listening our friend story, but sometime we need to feel the uncomfortable situation in this life

It makes you want to run for escaping the truth, yep it does

But finally you understand

This takes time to be a better version of ourselves everyday

Don’t judge

Just receive, compile, and learn

Comparison is good, but don’t make that as a tool to drag other down

That’s evil and improper attitude in the mind

I believe that nature speaks to us in many ways through every creatures. We split and merge the moments, then compile the left ones. It’s never structured.
