Vanity On Oneself Does tell a Story ... (Part 1)





"Oh Vanity ... What do I have to offer the girl. Even the Moonlight is not shining on me.."said the frog prince as he tried to find his true reflection by looking at the pond.

"It does not matter my dear. Be it if the moon shines or not, it is the matter of how you want to portray yourself. You are indeed the Masterpiece of your own look.. Stay with me.. and I will tell you how" replied Vanity with a glowing smile.


A decade ago, (Damn i feel so old now) I was never vain fella. Back then, I wouldn't allow anyone to snap a pic of myself as I had a real self-esteem problem. Damn, I hated photo taking sessions. Looking myself in the mirror was my biggest challenge. It felt like I've committed a sin if I were to do so. Far worst than the frog prince, I couldn't accept how I looked like.

So how could I possibly looked like when I was 14? Short & plump, center-parting hair with 2 curly fringes. Hmm.. what else. Oh, my waistline almost reached size of 34. My dressing? Simply horrible dude.

Despite being a misfit, I never failed to enjoy life. Got influenced with the underground music scene and there was a period of time I got myself into
deep Shit. Hehe. I would describe my teenage days as "wild & free". I was still having self-esteem problem till at the age of 18(the year where I had dropped-out from polytechnic). But there was when an unfortunate incident had changed everything.

Well, basically the person I had a crush on badly, had crushed me instead. Nothing could be far worst than to be looked down on by the person you adored most. Hmm.. to cut the chase, the whole incident had made me stronger than ever. I felt that, it was time for me to work my ass out to show him something. Something that I weren't sure of that time. But I just told myself that I must work-out to have a better physical looks. Viola ! In 8 months I lost 8 kg and had a waistline of 28 due to my excessive diet & running. Damn .. from a plump monster, I turned into a scrawny freak.

I entered NS after the 8 months of self-trained, and by the time I'm done with it, my body was lean and tone till date. Just nice, I thought. Oh ya, I've met the
burger last year at my former part time job. He wanted to get some stuff & it was so happened that I was at the counter. He was like stunned & shy to see the big difference in me. And I was like "Eat your heart out Honey."

That incident had really made me feel good about myself. There was when I decided to trust the vanity in me. No more insecurities. I was like thinking "If you have it, flaunt it".

Hmm. But I was wondering recently.
What happens if I didn't have the chance to know the burger at the first place? Will I be forever feeling insecure of my looks? Will those people in Facebook would still give compliments on my pics? Hmm. Probably not I guess.


To be continue ...
