A New Tiara

Once upon a time there was a girl.
She was a strong-will with a taste of stubborn head. She didn’t listen to anyone but herself. Not even the voices of what-could-possibly God’s signs. She went on everything with full speeds and couldn’t spare times to care about anything else.

But she was lost.

She only went on and on without particular directions.
She missed on an important part that she needs to place her ass down on a chair and consciously considering her options.

That girl could be me. Or she could be someone else.
That doesn’t really matter.
What matters is, we could all learn from that girl.

Life is about choices. Even if it feels like we don’t have any choices, we actually are still being faced with choices.
One of the biggest choices we could take is to believe in ourselves.
She didn’t believe in her potentials for far too long.
She had to hear it from people over and over, but as a stubborn as she was, she couldn’t believe them all.

It could be that she was scared to explore her potential to the fullest,
or simply a lazy bump she was, really.

Whatever it was for her, she was lucky she had someone to remind her. This particular someone never stops telling her how talented and amazing she is. Although she used to throw them all away in a blink of an eye.

I guess a slap in the face was what actually able to shake her mind’s monarchy. Forced her to take off her arrogant tiara and started wearing a shining shimmering splendid new one. It’s a limitless potential tiara that has been able to help her unlocking her barriers.

She never had limits!
It was herself that limited her options and potentials.
“But i’m this,”
“But i’m that,”
She didn’t allocate enough times in deciding, then she hated where she ended up at.
She didn’t believe she could, then she regretted she didn’t take up the chances.

“You’re the one who could see my potentials, even in the darkest room where I wasn’t able to see myself at all,”
She stood on her monarchy’s gate and that’s what she said to the particular someone, once she finally managed to overcome herself and started wearing the new tiara.
