A child was born. A new girl. No name, no experience, no thoughts, no life. Just a little baby with curiosity being its only teacher.
"What should we name her?" "Angelica sounds great. Our little angel." "Angelica it is." Two unidentified people calling a name that will be forgotten over time.
Time skip 5 years
Angelica, an energetic child, a fast learner and a caring girl. Everything is something new, even though she saw it five times today. Angelica didn't understand, why her mother was packing her stuff. Are we going on a trip? "You'll understand one day." She's still trying to understand.
Angelicas father invited a new woman into their house. Angelica loved to meet new people so this mysterious person was like Santa Clause. The woman was kind. She even allowed Angelica to call her "mother". Or maybe she demanded to be called "mother". She did call the woman "mother"
Angelica didn't know why the woman slept in their house, bathed in their bathtub, eat their food. Why she was so close with Angelicas father. One day, The woman and the father sat down.
"Listen closely... Angelica. Me and daddy were thinking about this and we are renaming you. Your name is now Kathy."
"Kathy? Who's she? A new friend?" "No, Angelica" the father replied "The Kathy is you now"
Kathy is me and I am Kathy.
A new girl. With a name, experience, thoughts, life. I was no longer their angel. I was Kathy.
"Our beloved Kathy" one person who's my was called out a name, that will be remembered forever.
Me, a shy child, a forgetful person and caring girl. Nothing is new here. The same wall and the same chair. But of course, I'm going to school tomorrow.
And that's just the start...
