There are times I wonder when I will ever be okay with uncalled judgement being passed on my character by the people I know. When I'll be strong enough to not be affected even the slightest bit. My father says I should have that much conviction in myself and my own ideals to know when I owe it to myself to just ignore the other person's character analysis of me. To look them in the eye and have the determination to remain silent and not crumble inside. He says thats my biggest weakness. That I pretend to remain undaunted and I fight back, but at the end of it all, I will resign. Take it as a reaffirmation of my own fears. Help it become more real. And isn't it ironic how most of us are the constructors of our own breakdown?

If only we had the will power to stand firmly and remain loyal to ourselves and just believe in the fact that we know ourselves better, and that we aren't born to please everyone. If only we had the strength to not shatter when the people closest to us are of no help? If only we had that much belief in the fact that we are absolutely alone when it all comes down to the basics. And we are each capable of surviving that way; just fighting for ourselves and having nobody by our side to give us reassurances.
If only we had some faith in ourselves and stopped looking for it everywhere else but within.
