Today's episode is different. In the sense I'm not the one who wrote it. A special thank you to *beep* for sending this lovely email. And I hope all of you enjoy.

Imagine me as a young girl who doesn't know anything about the world. I was very innocent, to the point that I didn't know that all men aren't like my brothers.

I lived in my own world, surrounded by books. I used to go to a local school near my home. But, when I reached middle school, my mom knew I deserved better than just some local school where I wouldn't be able to improve myself. So, she enrolled me in a famous school far away from my house. It took approximately 1 hour for me to reach school, and 1 and half hour to reach home.

That new school was huge, with thousands of girls in there. As for me, I hadn't even seen that many students in my entire life. Keep in mind that this is when I was 11.

So, I was a class topper in my previous school, and here I felt shunned, ignored and invisible. I was invisible. I made some friends and they all left me after a few years. I was demotivated, depressed, and drained.

Then, in grade 8, I met this one beautiful teacher, her name was Crystal (name is changed). Ms Crystal saw something in me, and in her I felt a kindred spirit. I started to participate in her Literature lectures. She encouraged and motivated me. Sadly, she left the school after some time, but before she left, a strong and beautiful girl came out of the shadows.

Me.

I was no longer shy. Instead, I  called out anyone who was staring at me. I started to get noticed, and my inner introvert shed away from the gazes.

My school was a girl's school and here, in wattpad, everyone can imagine how an intense gaze of many feels like. It feels like something is scanning you, stripping you naked, baring you for all to see.

But I persevered. And today, I stand tall and proud. I am, today, an opinionated and determined girl whose goal is to make it through college in a single piece.

To all the girls out there,

You are strong,

Beautiful,

And healthy.

Don't let those taunts, stares, judgements get to you.
Live a happy, peaceful life.

Here's to strong women, may we know them, may we raise them, may we be them.

Cheers.

That was an amazing story, *beep*
I was going to add something more to it, but when I was reading it again, I realised there isn't much to address anymore. *Beep* covered every point out there, and also got a personal little motivational message from me 😉

As always this is you author. Everyone please give a round of applause to this lovely, strong, independent woman, who had the courage to share her story. Everyone is courageous in their own way, but being all alone, and emerging as someone stronger hits different.

I know this isn't a normal relatable write, not something I normally update. But this story has been with me for a while, and I feel like this was the perfect time to get this out.

Make sure you give *beep* your own words of encouragement, and please refrain from judging someone by anything in their life. Never judge someone until you actually get to know them.

If you feel like it, you can send in your stories on my email, and get a chance of not only having your story read, giving the message of not being alone. But also getting a private, and personal message from me that would not be shared to anyone.
