I'm always wondering why there's a lot of people who like to see others hurting. Criticizing and humiliating you just because you're not fair like them. Saying that you're not pretty, and you look stupid because you're a dark-skinned girl.
Whenever I think about it, it's not bad having a skin like mine. I'm not that so dark, I'm just a tan-skinned girl. But for some other people, it's ugliness.
I'm telling you, it's not something to laugh about. No matter what you do, it's something you can't forget and something you can't stop from thinking about.
Honestly, it makes me feel like I'm the ugliest girl in the world. It makes my self-esteem so down, that sometimes I don't want to fix myself anymore. I don't want to look in the mirror cause all I could see is the dark-skinned girl with a lonely eyes.
I told my mom once about how I don't like my skin tone. She got angry when I told her that, cause according to her, I should be thankful of what I have and who I am.
But, no matter how I tried to cheer myself up, I'm still surrounded with these people who like to put me down, I'm still feeling useless.
Is it a sin to have a skin tone like this? Am I really that ugly?
I hope someday, these people will realize that what they're doing is something wrong and they should learn how to stop it. I hope they'll realize that everyone has a flaw and not all people can be like them.
But you know what, no matter how they try to knock me out, I'll never change myself. Day by day, I learned how to accept myself fully and be grateful for it.
I realized, we're all beautiful in our own little ways. I may not be fair like them, but I know I have something in me that they don't have.
So, to those people out there who are getting bullied because of your skin tone, keep your head high and be proud of you are. You are amazing and you're beautiful no matter what they say.
Let's celebrate and love ourselves!
