my name is Charlette.
i think my mother gave me a beautiful name
she told me the story behind my name a thousand times when i was a kid, and it is one of my favorite stories
when i started working, people at work are having a hard time pronouncing my name.
“Sherlette”
“CHAR-lette”
“CharlOtte”
and just to help them adjust to my name, i shortened my name to “Cha”
it was okay with me, i dont mind.
when i transferred work, with Europeans, they easily adapt to my full name and even compliment it.
everyone is calling me by my name.
sometimes, we find ourselves in a place when we fill we are different.
we tend to adjust ourselves to the environment.
we shrunk ourselves.
we chose silence instead of speaking up.
we tend to behave rather than to be our silly self.
and maybe this is how life is.
we are sometimes against the current.
but hopefully,
you will find yourself where you feel you truly belonged.
and when that time comes,
let out the beast in you.
the fun in you.
the care in you
the love in you.
🙂
love,charlette
