Esteem

As I was recalling all the things I had done, I realized, I had wasted most of my time trying to gain a little attention. Looking back, I don't really understand why I did what I did.

Hello again, The Earthian here.

Is that all just me? Trying to gain a little attention from people who don't care about us and whom we don't care about?
Maybe it's just me, but i feel like the more I did that, the more I started losing the respect I had for myself. It's when I hit rock bottom, I realized I need to start getting back up. Just like a free fall, untill you hit the ground hard, you don't feel the impact. Lessons are best learnt the hard way. Trust me. "Hard" is a relative word though. Hope you got my point.

I honestly don't see a lot of people who can say that they respect themselves. Maybe it's the society from where I'm from. Where I'm from, respect for others is far greater than self esteem. Especially when that others are "educated". Not in my case though. I've learnt that only when I respect myself, I have little chances of others respecting me. When someone insults me, I'm not the type that's going to insult back. But I'm definitely the type that defends. There is a fine line between arrogance and confidence and that's exactly what I believe in.

Start respecting yourself, the life you have got. Be thankful for everyday you're alive. Just be thankful. Wear a smile and let yourself know that you're actually important and you need to defend at the right times.

Good luck, good day.

PS: Never ever, sell yourself short.
