Words: Decorative
An empty room. That is what people compare me to. I always went with the flow, had no remarkable talents nor specialties, and chose to stand amongst the crowd rather than sticking my head out from the flock. I was as normal as you could get. And yet, people chose to befriend me, to get to know me. For that, I feel grateful.
I, who was empty, was blessed by such kind hearted souls in this constantly growing world. It was such a shame that I had not acknowledged the empathy of others when I was dreadful.
It's fascinating what the brain could do. How did kind words translate to mockery? Looking back, I just wanted to be isolated from everything. Now, because of the courage they gave me, I'm more than ready to accept their feelings.
I am able to express myself more freely. I learn how to break the ice, to escape the flow, to love the things I wantー thanks to the shove they gave me.
My once empty room was gradually decorated by various people, helping me handpick the decorations with their help. Without those people, I would remain the same normal person wearing the same clothes everyday.
They truly helped shape the life I live.
