“My teachers never selected me for welcoming guests in school functions, guess why? Cause I was too dusky to fit their pretty! I remember my classmates telling me to apply creams just so I could look fair. Growing up with dusky skin and constant heckling, I have learnt to love my self gradually and I’m so proud of that.
I was in class 12th when I wasn't able to study and got anxious for no reason. There had been days when I used to cry every night without any reason. Those were kind of worst days. I was suffering from anxiety issues that I was unaware of. I’ve had friends dismissing me with- “You just don't look like an anxious person.”
There may be thousands of people around me, but I feel lonely and I can’t help it. I feel like a burden on everyone- friends, family, everyone. Thank God that I'm blessed with friends and my sister who really have been with me through thick and think, helped me to raise my self-confidence from scratch.
There will always be worst days as much as best ones. If you’re reading this, please don’t forget to have appreciate the littlest of things around you every day. If you haven’t smiled today, take this as a sign. SMILE!” -Sangopana Mohanty
