16 years down the line and I am still trying to figure out who I am! Yeah I know, this is how the process is suppose to go and my honest opinion, it sucks! We spend half, if not all our lives trying to figure out who we are and more times than often the majority never does. They die with the popular question ''am I who I think I am? '' . Patience is a virtue they always say, it sounds like some stupid old recitation, probably the reason why I am not succeeding in what I am doing.....living!
Looking back at my early years in primary school, I now realize that I was a teachers' pet and I know that it takes a whole lot of guts to say this in public but it was what I chose to be, not to say I knew what was dong in the first place. I always thought that by being obedient to my teachers I would be able to have my private place and be able to be regarded to as a role model, I was going to be the best learner in class and to my surprise everything turned out that way and even more surprising I was the perfect role model for a dummy, chicken, coward, you name it. If you would ask anyone who the smartest person in my grade was, they would tell you that I was the one. possibly in the whole school even my teachers would say. And by that I created more enemies than friends, I became isolated and lived in fear of exposure. I was afraid of the world, afraid of letting it know that I existed, fearing that it would spit me out the minute it knew that I was there; just the way you did to a distasteful meal. Little did I know that I was doing a great job on my own!
But then again, that was to reveal itself in the near future
