The Ugly Quacks...

The following post is a heartfelt dedication to people like me.

We all have heard this childhood story called "The Ugly Duckling".
Then, there were TV shows like "Ugly Betty". Movies like "My Big Fat
Greek Wedding".

Deep inside our innocent hearts we could relate to these stories. Yes.
We, the "plain janes" , "ugly quacks" or not so ordinary looking
people.

Like in the movies, We don't find those happy endings in reality.

All our lives, Love stays like this alien feeling to us. We listen to
mushy music, watch mushy movies. Have little pre sleep dreams about
having romantic moments with some beautiful person we saw on TV.

We're not our mommy's favorite children. We've got messed up hair.
We're equally bad at our career and our hobbies. We listen to boring
music that is considered uncool. Basically we're the un natural
looking, behaving and acting people, not having a cliche life.

What we have are our innocent hearts and our bleeding egos, that find
joy in seeing a loser win in the movies.

Yes. You can call us desperate. But we learn. Slowly and steadily.
Unlike the stupid good looking, feeling and behaving people. We learn
the ways of this world.

We eventually turn into the world-friendly serpent with whom no
mommy's child can mess around with.

Yes. We finally become what the world wants us to be, with a little
heart beating inside us. A little heart, waiting for a movie-like
miracle to happen. Waiting for someone to change this serpent into the
ultra romantic ugly quack that he actually is.

GAH.
