A Teenage Girl

The Story of a 13-Year-Old Girl in Search of Care And Love.

By Ashi WritesPublished about a year ago 3 min read

In an old neighborhood where time appeared to move a little more slow, carried on with a 13-year-old young lady named Emily. Emily was a bundle of insecurities, always questioning herself and her value. She had a large number of companions, yet none she could call really faithful/loyal or mature. The only person she trusted would be her anchor was her cousin, Lisa. In any case, Lisa was careless and frequently ignorant about Emily's feelings, causing Emily to feel considerably more detached.

A Spark of Hope

Life took a turn when Lisa introduced Emily to a boy named James. James confessed to Lisa that he had feelings for Emily. He was kind and attentive, offering Emily a glimpse of the love and care she had always craved for. James introduced her to a fantasy world filled with small yet meaningful gestures. He gave her chewing gums, handcrafted heart-shaped bangles, a bracelet, a keychain, chocolates, and handwritten letters. To Emily, these gifts were worth millions.

James would often visit her house, waiting outside her school just to "coincidentally" meet her and walk her home with his brother. He respected boundaries but never failed to show he cared. Once, he saw her crying and immediately sent Lisa to console her.

Emily always found him looking at her, even when she wasn't aware of it. James made her feel cherished, creating precious memories that Emily held close to her heart.

The Heartbreak

However, life is unpredictable. As time passed, Emily and James parted ways without even a word of farewell. Till the end , Emily was loyal and blindly in love .His sudden absence made her question if he even really loved her or not .

Shortly after, Lisa got married, leaving Emily to face the world alone. The loss of James and the absence of her cousin plunged Emily into a deep depression. She felt as if the little world of care and attention she had built was crumbling around her.

A Journey to Self-Love

But Emily was resilient (strong). Slowly but surely, she began to regain control over her life. She got engaged, but observing her fiancé's personality , she loses hope of ever being loved again. It was then that Emily made a crucial decision—she started loving herself. She focused on self-care and prayed for a better future, trusting that life had better things in store for her.

A New Beginning

Emily is now all grown up. The loneliness still lingers(hurts) , the memories still come back sometimes , but she has learned to manage it. She is happy, mentally healthy, and leading a stable life. Although being alone can still hurt, Emily has built a strong sense of self-control and contentment. She no longer depends on others for attention and the care and love she once needed; she has tracked down it inside herself.

Note: Emily's story is a demonstration of the force of self esteem and strength. It advises us that while we might long for care and consideration from others, the most solid wellspring of adoration is many times the one we develop inside ourselves.

So guys! Don't beg in front of anyone for some love or extra care .Your Fate will always find you !!

And if you just trust someone blindly , you will be left with nothing but some regrets , hurtful memories and confusion that the people, you ruined you childhood for , were even worth it !?

Or,

Were they even serious about you ?Please Don't act recklessly like Emily.

Wish you all meet the man or women of your dreams while living a decent life with good childhood memories.
