Despite the deep and vast our universe we live in..
Our world is still swallow.
But to be specific let's talk about people. People who care about money, status, looks, and fame.
This is the world I grew up in..
And as cynical as its sounds, its thr truth and I just learned to accept it.
I was born right into the media of society. My mother was a famous super model back when she is in her younger days, even long after she had me and my sister.
Cameras, publicity, fashion trends, paparazzi....
I was exposed to it since day one. Although, its pretty suffocating. The fake plastered smiles and faces everywhere I look. Those strangers who would approach me, knowing my name while I never knew them before.
They would put me on a news even though I didn't even bother to do anything. That's my life in the world of media.
I was even bothered for a fact that I am treating by other so special by unvalid reason. To me, it meant that people just like me not because for who I was but because I am a son of a super model.
Except her..
"Raven, wag ka nalang kaya pumasok, magdate nalang tayo please..." yaya sakin si Nathalie habang kumapit sakin ng napakahigpit.
"Nah, wag muna ngayon Nath. Pag umabsent pa ako, malilintikan na ako ng prof ko" sagot ko habang iwas ng iwas sa kanya. Ano ba to? Para akong may magulang na naghahatid sa school ng dahil sa babaeng to. "Kaya kung pwede dun ka na ha?" sabi ko saka tulak sa kanya ng mahina para malayo na ako sa kanya.
"So, ganun nalang you just tossed me that easily?" pagmamaktol nya. Problema ba ng babaeng to?
"Ang O.A" napalingon naman kami sa narinig naming boses sa likod ko. May isang babae at base sa uniform nya isa syang "Student council, sige na Nath baka maviolation na naman ako"
Biglang ngumiti ang babae, kahit na peke. "Hmm excuse me lang ha? Magstastart na ang class kasi bawal na ang mga lintang bisita"
"Ano sabi mo?! Lin---"
"Sige na nath pasok na ako" paalam ko kay Nath saka dinaanan ang isang SSC officer. "Hmmp di man lang ako pinagtanggol, I'M LEAVING!!" sigaw ni Nath saka umalis na din siguro.
Maglalakad na talaga sana ako papasok ng may biglang humila na naman sakin. Nak ng----
"Teka nga lang PO!! Please wear PO your proper uniform kasi school regulation PO yun" sabi ni Miss SSC officer habang nakahila pa rin sa damit.
Agad ko yung hinila pabalik. "Psh pwede ba!!" di ko nalang sya nilingon ng pumasok na ako sa may gate.
"Papasok na nga lang sa school, magdadamit pa ng kulang sa batones, loose shirt pa ang sinuot, ano sya tambay? Buset... " kahit di ko sya tanungin, alam kong pinariringang nya ako. Tskk. Annoying..
People are all just the same. We all put under our impression in the same way how others look just to be accepted in the society. In turn, we conform ourselves into specific stereotypes, whether it benefit or limit us.
After all, that's the inevitable truth about humanity....
