I don’t want to simply exist. I want to live beyond my boundaries and know that I am more than skin and bone, more than what you see me physically. I want to reach my fullest potential to the extent that it could radiate to others. I want to be able to inspire. And despite what they tell me that my heart is made of ice, I certainly want to help people, to reach out, only if they allowed me to. I want to be needed, rather than to be wanted. I want to hike up and stand proudly on the zenith of my dreams. I want to bury my regrets with achievements. And to be honest, there would always be this drive to prove to people that they were wrong about me. I want that, too. Not someday, because that word somehow silently reminds me of never. But this is a promise. Not to you, but to myself.
Hi, I'm Giza. It's actually pronounced as /jee-zuh/. I'm not sure if I was ever the one for long biographies. I'm 18, you could say I'm old enough not to do anything illegal. I don't think you should be reading this shit, because most of the time, I just let my rockets fly higher than anybody. I'd like to think I was born a dominant gene above everyone else. Perhaps, you could put it this way, I'm a devil residing on a female's body. And I have this tendency to outbitch and outsmart everybody. But that's life, you've got to be the one who's stronger, the most intelligent, and the most adaptable, in order to survive. Moving on, as indestructible as you think I am, I might as well admit that I am human. Ergo, I had once been susceptible to love and the hurt it is supposed to come along. But then, I had been young, but never naive. I was a romantic, but then never hopeless. Life disappointed me, but I only bent a little, not breaking down.
"Oderum dum metuant." Let them hate, so as long as they fear. But who am I to say I'd be alone for along time? But then, I refuse to sink. And I am never going down without a fight.
