When I saw the Devil Wears Prada movie I was in love with all the characters. I was feeling inspired by all of them, especially Miranda. Her clothes, makeup, and style, all of it were on point.

_I was fascinated by this luxurious woman that I passed down all the negative comments and ridiculously requires._

I saw this movie when I was about 10 years old. In my imagination, this kind of behavior that Miranda has in the movie was only a fantasy. There are no people like this. Everyone is nice to each other. In the eyes of a child, there is no negative, only joy, and excitement.

_Maybe that is a way we try to see the world as adults from the perspective of a child. Maybe then we will feel alive by something._  
Fast forward, 13 years later, I see the world differently. I saw lots of Miranda. Pressure everywhere, to achieve the impossible. In a world where there are many ‘’Miranda,‘’ nothing that you do will be appreciated truly.  
Reading the book helped me teleport in my experience.

I resonate with most of the stories that are being told there.

> _Being emotionally abusive to someone isn’t glamorous. Neither Dior nor Givenchy could hide it. The monstrosity and the attitudine which Miranda has is …... I have been beside Miranda, and I tell you that I was unhappy and exhausted all the time. How could you be happy, or how could you think positively if you are surrounded by such people? How? When I had enough I took my life into my own hands. I decide. When I started to realize what was happening to me I understood the fact that I need to eliminate this kind o person IMMEDIATELY from my life._

And I tell you that it was amazing to finally close the door with that person. In this process of taking control over my life, I was feeling hesitant. _‘’Maybe she is right, I am the problem!’’_, or ‘_’If I could do this better maybe our relationship will be better’’_.

In each case, I WASN’T THE PROBLEM. **An emotional abuser does not matter the status, clothes, or vocabulary it is going to be an emotional abuser.** Learn from them what you can and then run for your life. Your life isn’t meant to be lived miserably. Happiness and joy are for everyone.
