Chapter 1: The Impact of Words

What did you truly anticipate? Did you think you could simply ridicule me, highlight my flaws, and belittle me without any repercussions? You genuinely believed I would accept being beneath you?

While I profess to disregard public opinion, the reality is that many individuals are insecure, weak, and unhappy. They derive satisfaction from making others feel inferior. When someone exhibits any sort of imperfection, it seems to bring them joy to ensure that the person feels different and lesser.

I assure you, I’m not concerned about what others think; however, making some changes in my life became the only strategy to fend off your relentless judgments.

I recognize my uniqueness; I’m not like you, and that’s perfectly fine! Yet, I implore you to stop discussing it. Your life won't transform, and I am not acting immorally. Please find a more constructive way to spend your time.

I understand that concentrating on me provides a distraction from your own issues. Ironically, the more you focus on my life, the less attention you give to your own growth. You may even resent me for improving myself in response to your criticisms. But now, I stand beyond where you once thought I would remain stagnant. I’ve shown that transformation is achievable, and the reality is that you are the primary reason for your own circumstances.

Here’s some advice: emulate my journey. If I irk you so profoundly, and you feel envious, simply follow in my footsteps. Is it an easy path? Certainly not. But judging by your behavior, it seems to be a worthy endeavor.

It’s unjust, isn’t it? You don’t get to chastise me for being overweight, and then, after my transformation due to your hurtful comments, criticize me further for becoming more appealing than you.

You should’ve kept quiet! Nothing would have unfolded had you just left me in peace. Seriously!

Nonetheless, I extend my gratitude. I was unaware of my potential. I previously viewed you as the benchmark, only to realize now that you haven’t even reached the starting line.
