If you are going to change, change for yourself

Karen was an orphan but lived a modest life. She was working as a office clerk in a company. And it was enough for her to live and meet her demands. She was beautiful but she was bit fat. And so people could not see her beauty.

But one day she met a guy online. He messaged her first on social media and after this they were having continuous chat. After weeks of messaging, he asked her if she would like to meet as he really liked her.

Karen was not getting a lot of attention from guys because they could not see her. So, when the guy asked for a date, she had no reason to reject. On the day, she was glowing with joy. They wanted to meet in a cinema hall.

She bought pop corns and went to the hall. She was standing on the lobby and waiting for him. The waiter came to her and said the movie was already on. Then he asked if she was going in. Karen said him to wait a minute. She added that her date would be there soon.

She sat on the corner sofa and was waiting. It was already half an hour late. She was getting upset and tensed. She thought maybe something had happened to him. She waited for more 20 minutes but he didn't came. But when she was about to leave, he walked into the lobby.

But she felt something not right because he was not alone. The guy was accompanied by a few friends. And when they saw her, including that guy they all were laughing loudly looking at Karen. She was so shocked and step forwarded to them.

She asked them what it meant. In spite of replying her he told his friends that he had told she would buy it and show up. They all were laughing and exclaimed that she was a fool. Then he asked Karen why she was so surprised. He again asked if she hadn't realized that it was a prank.

She was not believing what was happening. She asked what kind of prank he was talking about. He replied that no one in their right mind would date someone like her. He suggested her to be realistic and said bye.

Karen was not ready for this. Her eyes were instantly full of water. His act left her heart broken. She sat on the steps of the hall and cried so hard. She could not understand why he had done that to her. She was thinking about everything but it only led her in depression.

In the meanwhile, other moviegoers had left. But Karen sat on the step for some more time. But she could not bring herself to go home. It was being late of night but she kept sitting.

The guard who came to lock the building noticed her. He thought something wrong had happened. So, he went to her and asked why she was sitting there. But she didn't reply but cried. The guard sat by her side and asked kindly what had happened to her.

She found the guy to be a good man. So, she told him her sad story. He listened to her carefully and asked her so what happened. He again asked her if she took that guys words to heart. He then said that they had said nothing about Karen and everything about him.

The man's words cheered her up. She became something she was not. She went to her home and were determined. She stood in front of the mirror and said herself that her mind was made up and she was going to change; would change at least for herself.

The following day she started to change her habits. She followed the healthy eating habits and gave up the junk foods. Even she started working out. She continued it and could see the results.

In just a few months Karen became totally unrecognizable. That day she again stood in front of the mirror. She was so happy and said herself that she could not believe it was really her. She had got back her beauty and were noticed by men.

And then she came up with a plan. She decided to get back at the guy who hurt her. She created a new profile and started chatting with that guy. Then one day she asked him out on a date. He was excited to date such a beautiful girl.

On the day, he came in suit and a flower bouquet in his hand. She also went there and he didn't even recognize her. He told her that she was looking amazing. She smiled and were planning to rebuke him.

She had picked the most expensive restaurant to have dinner. They had the most expensive meals and just after having them, she executed her plan. She told him that she was sorry as she would have to go on the washroom. Then she assured him that she would be back in a minute.

He happily agreed and she left. The guy waited for an hour. But Karen never came back. He was being irritated but kept waiting. And then the waiter brought him a note. He took it and started it read:

Did you really think that any girl in her right mind would want to date a jerk like you?

Karen

He was shocked and insulted and that's what he deserved.

Respect yourself and don't let others to take away from your self-esteem. And if your are going to change, do it for yourself.
