The title said it all. Who is that one person you want to meet the most after LL? It could be your relatives, someone you cared about or seeked approval from, your ex who dumped you for your height or someone who used to joke about your short stature.
For me, it happened this weekend and I didn't realized it after it was all over. I was paying for some food at the grocery store and there at the end of the check-out line was my high-school crush. It was quite long ago, but I used to have proposed to her and expressed "how deeply" I felt for her... and I got rejected. Quite typical when a short guy tries to propose to the cutest girl in the school. But not only that, she ended me doing some cruel tricks on me.
Long-story short, I met her again this weekend and I felt a small sense of satisfaction. Before, our social status was unequal. She was more popular than I was. She was pretty, good-looking, popular and attractive.. everything which I wasn't. But through the years, I spent a great deal saving up for educations, investing in my future and not to mention gained 3 inches during my trip to India. For her, she partied, drank herself to death and aged. She also pursued her lofty goals of travelling around the world and "living life to the fullest." Bla bla bla. Now, I wouldn't even hit on her if I met her at the club. One thing I have learnt is that life is not a sprint. Some people can be endowed with everything they want at birth.. genetic, rich parents or inheritant. But if they don't know how to keep them, those things can be taken away from them. Life is not a sprint but more like a marathon. It's good to know that the final laughter is the most satisfying.
And another person which I wanted to meet the most after I grew taller was the man I see in the mirror every day. Every day I want to tell myself that I can do it if I try. You can do it if you put your mind to it.
