 Someone. Somebody. Two different words with the same meaning as they say. TSK! Too literal. Well, let me tell you the real difference behind these two distinct words. I am sure that you’ve never asked yourself regarding this matter. Too bad for you. Joke! Alright, let’s start this quest.

     Let me tell you a story of two different people named Someone and Somebody. OOPS! Before I forget, don’t you dare cry unless you have realized something in the end because if you do? That’s your loss.

     Long, longer, longest time ago, there was a person named Someone. Someone is poor. Someone has no friends. Someone was dumped by a boy who just played with her feelings. Someone was in pain during that time. Someone always begs for love. She asks her family to love her but they don’t. She asked another person to love her but that person doesn’t want to. Someone is always alone. Nobody wants to be with a pity girl like her. Someone loves to sit in the corner of the room. Someone was an outcast. Nobody could accept someone who means nothing. Someone is no one to them. Someone realized one day that she was too different that no one would ever dare to love her. She wants to fit in their world but many would push her away. Someone cried a lot in her life. Someone has fears that she’s afraid of facing. She would die for sure if it happens. Someone has so many regrets for she gave her time to things unnecessary and unworthy. Someone looks at herself as the ugliest person who has no space in the world. Someone is weak. No, weaker. Someone is just someone.

     Now, here comes Somebody. Somebody is rich. Somebody has few but true friends. Somebody was dumped by a boy who played with her heart. Somebody was in pain that time. But she forgives. Somebody never begged for love. Somebody never asked her family to love her for she knows that she was made out of love. She never asked others to love her for she knows that love is given and not being begged for. She never asked them to love her but many people volunteers to love someone as worthy as her. Somebody was never alone. She knows that even if the world leaves her behind, God is there to walk with her journey to life. Many people would love to be with her because of her optimistic spirit. Somebody loves to sit anywhere because she knows the space is for free. Somebody was never an outcast for she knows how to dwell with different people. She never asked for acceptance but many treated her as if she’s everything. Somebody is special to them. Somebody realized one day that she has to be different to know who truly loves her despite her imperfections. She never aimed to fit in another’s world but many opened their doors for her to freely come and go. Somebody cried a lot in her life. Tears of both pain and joy. Somebody has fears that she isn’t afraid of facing. She knows it would define her living purpose. Somebody regretted nothing in her life for she knows that those stuffs helped her become better. They were all worth having for. Somebody looks at herself as the prettiest child of God with humility. Somebody is strong. No, stronger. Somebody is somebody.

     But here’s the thing. Somebody is present. Someone is past. They say they’re the same right? Well then, I guess grammar is a universal truth. For Somebody was once Someone. There are limitations in this world but nobody could dictate when can someone transform into Somebody. We hold our own destiny. Learn from the past and make the most of your present. Life is too short to remain in history. Don’t worry of being someone. Remember, the constant thing is change. Ladies and gentlemen, Somebody is me. I was once someone. And this is the story of my life.
