What do you want? Only the good side of me? Every single time?
Oh, that would be a piece of me. Would you be happy with that piece?
-- Yes, I would.
Years passes by, a dark night came. Everything seemed different. That piece of me was not sure how to face the reality anymore. The person who decided to be with that piece start to think me useless.
Yes, I was. Coz I couldn't do anything more.
I was the same thing, years after years. Same boring or same chilling, maybe. But the same.
Then again, I asked what do you want now? Only this piece of me or more?
Now the person confess it was boring, choosing my piece was not a good idea?
It's better to have a whole person than a piece.
I smiled and said, I knew this answer. But yet people always choose my pieces.
Yes, a piece of me, a piece of you, a piece of us. That's not us. Yet people choose to have that piece. We also do the same with other people. Seeing the other piece, the dark side or whatever you call it scares us off.
But do you know what, that's almost the real person? At least it's more real than the best piece of us.
So when I deal with someone, I ask myself what piece I need? Not always the good piece will come and stay forever. We have to see them as a whole.
A piece of me is never beautiful, it's never intelligent. It can never make you happy, no matter what piece you choose. Accept the whole me, that would be a better choice; I said to that person.
Many years ago one of my friends told me she doesn't what to see me when I'm sad. Because she doesn't know how to deal with me and it makes her uncomfortable and scared. I understand her. But I said the exact same thing I wrote here.
A piece of me...that's not who I'm. You can see the best piece of me one day. And the other it wouldn't be the same. If you leave with the best piece, you can never have me.
I taught myself this and now people don't scare me anymore, no piece of them, I can accept every piece of everyone. Maybe I don't like it, maybe I try to avoid it. But I'm not scared anymore.
Yeah, we have two sides, the good side and the slightly bad side People see the difference piece of us and it makes them feel good or bad... depending on the one they see. But the biggest love is the love for oneself. LOVE yourself and try to control the bad side if it's possible, ofcourse it's possible
