Illustrated by Iim Nisak Few weeks ago I received a present from my friend. It's an amirugumi doll that she made by herself. It felt different receiving a bought present and a handmade present.

About My Weaknesses



Illustration by Iim Nisak


It used to be difficult for me to let people know my weaknesses. About my flaws. I was embarrassed. Not to be seen as someone good, was a failure to me. Especially to be seen that way by people I adore. Then I would wrinkle, blame myself, find excuses to explain, wish to just disappear, and even not want to meet them again.

Few days ago I was talking about my weakness to someone I didn't think I would talk to about it. Surprisingly, I wasn't that embarrassed. I didn't feel like a failure. I didn't wish to disappear and not to meet him again.

What a progress I've made!

I was curious to hear his feedback about my weakness. I was excited to overcome my weakness. I can see my weakness better thus I can accept and face my weakness. I was okay being vulnerable.

I realized, it happened because I didn't love myself enough back then. This because I didn't appreciate myself. I felt not enough by being myself. I always compared myself to others.

But now, I love myself better. I know who I am and why I am being who I am right now. I am no longer embarrassed with my weaknesses. I embrace myself with all my weaknesses. Those weaknesses make me human.

How do you feel about your weaknesses?
