TL;DR: A bunch of idiots insulting me on my appearance just inadvertently gave me the most determination I've ever had in my life
Earlier today I just started a run when I passed a pavilion with a huge party going on in it. Now I couldn't make out every word, but a group of people were definitely hurling insults about my appearance, mostly my nose. Now I don't run with headphones in, (Just don't think it's very safe) so I had a lot of time to think about what they said.
At first I was pretty bummed, but then I started to think about what I was doing. Even though it wasn't a lot on the grand scheme of things, I was outside getting exercise and improving myself, even though there are some things I can't change. And what were those leeches to society doing? Insulting random people on the street to to either inflate their already humongous ego or to experience brief respite from their torturous lives. I felt better then them. I felt like I could lead a life that they would only experience in their dreams. I got strength through that weirdly.
On my way back, I considered going a different way to avoid them, but I decided not to. When they started insulting me again I started to sprint. I sprinted all the way to the next bend on the park trail, were they couldn't see me. From their prospective, it probably looked like I ran away, but felt on top of the world. I screamed "I'll outshine you all, a**holes!" Now admittedly, they probably didn't hear me, but I don't care. It made sense to me.
I've probably been watching to much anime lol
