Today, I noticed you after a long time, or, instead, a few years. I stopped once I saw that acquainted face on the busy street. Honestly, at that moment, it felt like the floor changed into shifting far from beneath my ft. My chest felt adore it turned into ''. I even forgot to breathe for some seconds. Anyway, once upon a time, all my desires revolved around this guy. I started having a tough time controlling myself. I felt like strolling and talking, after which I felt like jogging away.

But the real incident happened right after that. When I somehow controlled myself and looked at you, our eyes met. You saw me. I am sure you recognized me. But what a surprise! You acted as if you didn't know me, as if I were a stranger on the side of the road. You just walked past me, pretending not to see me.

If you think about it normally, I should have cried a lot at this time, right? I should have felt humiliated. In the past, I might have wet my pillow when I got home. But believe me, today I didn't feel any of that. On the contrary, I felt great! Yes, you heard me right. I felt great. Do you know why?

Your departure made me understand that I am no longer in the same place as before. When you ignored me and left, I felt—no storm raged inside me. I stood calmly. I thought, "Wow! I really don't miss you anymore." Instead of hurting me, your neglect gave me a strange peace. I felt, come on, Dad, I am completely free from this illusion! You may have thought that you were belittling me by ignoring me, but in fact, you made me understand my own strength.

I realized that my presence or absence in your life no longer matters to me. The fact that I was able to smile despite your neglect is my biggest victory. I felt very valuable at that time. I felt like I was standing on my own two feet; I was no longer a beggar for anyone's pity or attention.

So today, those of you who are reading this article of mine, especially girls, let me tell you something. If someone pretends not to see you on the path of life, thinks you are insignificant, never consider yourself small. Don't get upset. Instead, enjoy that moment. Think, this is your moment of liberation. Your tears are not cheap enough to suffer from the neglect of a person who doesn't know how to value you.

Instead, accept it with a smile. Pat yourself on the back and say, "I did it." Love yourself so much that the neglect of others can't even touch you. At the end of the day, your own well-being is what mmatters everything else is insignificant. Everyone, be well, and learn to celebrate these small victories of yours.
