Confession of a MEDIATOR!

The awkward moment when you realize " Helping is not always the best policy" I  know this proverb might sounds a little known, and I do agree that I have made changes to the saying "Honesty is the best policy". But I believe sturdily that this will surely make sense to all those Mediators out there. And I hope will prove to be an original alternative rather act as a protagonist to all the so called 'Do Good Deeds' sayings.

Hola! Readers

Introducing myself -- a betrayed frustrated and sadly taken for granted material obstinate enough even after being back-stabbed on uncountable instances.  Trust me, I have even more adjectives to add in this list of self criticism but I am hesitant to add more auto-correction to my spellings. I am no writer who can put beautiful words or constructive sentences. But I can try my level best to bring out my thoughts in this story which is an original piece.

Just a few hours ago I, learned a golden lesson which initiated me to write this story and make new proverbs. I am a mediator as I,  mentioned before, but not professionally, just for the sake of helping the people I  love and trying to make their lives easier(although people call is snooping but I call this a healthy counseling with a few actions , mostly the Not! Accepted ones).

Just at the age of 16, I know many people out there like me who know naturally how to solve other’s hitches, consider what they feel and even get an undefined satisfaction after seeing those people breathing a happy life for your given solutions. I swear am not taking credits, but, a fact is a fact sometimes even the strongest animal in the clan yearns for support from the weaker one .But as the nature made the rule "Survival of the fittest" and according to this proved, the strongest creature faces success with triumph but the poor puny creature who assists the achiever is lost in the massive crowd, left without recognition and even exempted from the slightest sense of gratitude.

As a mediator I usually have to make a choice between the right and wrong and in majority of the situations I find myself in the edge fighting in a do or die state of affairs. But while trying to take majority of my habitats predicament, I usually crinkle my own space of peace and harmony. Starting from low account balance and cell phone battery crisis to breaking hearts for mending another’s. According to me a mediator’s life faces more obstacles than an old cranky truck stuck in Sao Paulo’s traffic congestion.

But even after all the torment when the golden rays of hope and success shimmer on me, I feel like closing my eyes, to the anguish coming to my way. Get up and gather the under estimated pieces of myself restoring it for moving on with my hobby. I learned not to claim what I did for others rather I learned to keep my ethics intact and fight for the right.

Being a mediator can be a rollercoaster ride, as you never know,

What life has to gift or teach you.

You’ll find well-wishers, so as tyrants.

Genuine people so as counterfeits.

But now as I end this confession I would like to alter my own proverb which I created at the beginning.

“Helping is the best policy provided you suit yourself first”

PS: love the world and world will love you back, but if you do not love yourself, your mind will crave for your own admiration and will never be able to show affection towards the world.

"might sounds a little known" there is an S there that shouldn't be there.
"people call is snooping but" You mean "it" or "this".
And remember that in a story format, every new paragraph should be indented.
Ok now that we're done with that, I myself being what you call a "Mediator" I can completely relate to what you're saying and find it to be 100% true. You have excellent points, like here " I love and trying to make their lives easier(although people call is snooping but I call this a healthy counseling with a few actions."
You're strait forward attitude with your storytelling is great and just as powerful as one who uses long sentences and lots of fancy words. It makes you're metaphors and common quotes stand out that much more! (Sorry I know this is getting long!) But your flow could use some work, it gets jumpy at some points. You say you learned something today, but you never tell us how you learned it simply what you learned. Which is great but in my personal opinion I think the story would be more powerful if you told us how you learned this lesson.
Overall great job! I hope you revise this and keep going! Amazing Job! Extremely relateable and well written!
