"No place for a girl like you"
“Be obedient.”
"Can’t You behave like a girl?See here, Missy,Never forget hat you are a girl. You have to be pretty, and nice. You aren’t very pretty, so now you need to be pretty nice. So everyone likes you "
" But they say you can’t please everyone.. "
"Okay,fair enough. So that most people like you"
"But I don’t like most people”
"Nobody would like you with an attitude like that"
"If you keep up with this attitude, You’ll have to stay alone forever.You have to blend yourself with people,behave how they want you to behave,do what they want you to do…"
"And believe what they want me to believe? Say what they want me to say?What good is being myself then? Most people are hypocrites. Do you want me to be a hypocrite too? Most people lie. Do you want me to lie as well?"
"Do you or do you not want to fit in?"
"Then its the price that you’ve got to pay"
She was right, of course. She always was. But she was also a bitch. And I was a rebel.
" I’m Sorry , it cannot work this way. I can live without being liked. I can live without love. Love can give happiness both ways. I’ll try giving love. We’re all starving here, for love, for peace, for happiness. And every unhappy day takes a bit of our time away…And we, human beings are made up of nothing but time "
"Can’t you just pretend you like them? Can’t you just say ’How are you doing?’ or ‘Nice to meet you’ or ‘Please do come again..’ with a smile on your face, so they would think you’re a good well mannered girl? Trust me on this, You will be doing yourself a favor."
She always thought she was right. She was just as proud as I was. She was also just as stubborn, or rather, I was just as stubborn
"And Lie? I’m not going to show up. Its decided. Please don’t make this complicated. I don’t have to do anything that I don’t want to do. It is a matter of choice "
"You think you have a choice? You think you can speak of things like freedom and choice and then hope to be accepted by people around us? Until you learn to submit, and obey, you will remain an outsider. An out cast. No friends. No family that’s proud of you. No nothing. And you will starve on your need of love,and acceptance. Until you learn to obey, and to accept, there will be no place for a girl like you"
And before I could think of an answer, she walked away. Clearly, because she thought I was a lost case.
But I had hope. Perhaps, its all I had,and all I will ever have. And for now, just hope will have to suffice.
