In today’s lecture Ma’am gave us an assignment to do. We had to write an essay on ” WHO AM I ? ” using few of the metaphors and words that describe us that we had written in the previous class. Here is my essay –
So, who am i?
Well, i am the kind of person who can rant or talk about anything or everything for hours – just like a broken tape recorder. While I may come out as a very open person, I do have a hidden part. The reality of the matter is that I’m not the most confident person and can rarely make the first approach to talk to strangers. Usually I tend to over look small misbehaviours but if the person crosses the line I don’t tend to hold back and make sure to give them a piece of my mind – just how a sleeping volcano that may explode anytime. I’m definitely not a cheerful and bubbly person all the time but i do have my shiny days in between the dull ones – just like an eyeshadow palette. Speaking of which make up is something that I’m secretly addicted to but my looks are on the extremes ie either a zombie or a straight up diva – nothing in the grey area. Usually I spend my Friday nights watching a show or movie with my small circle of friends. Social norms is something that I hate. I can’t go around being a rebel just for the sake of it but that the same time I do not want to do something just because everyone else is doing it. I also have the patience level of a butterfly- can’t stop fidgeting or fluttering around a room. This is the reason I have a hard time concentrating on things especially while talking – simply can’t connect ideas. I relate to the Internet explorer for this matter!
Here’s the deal – I absolutely hate being tall and I’d do anything in this world to become 5 inches shorter. Yes a lot of people keep asking me how tall am I and did I play basketball as a child – yes I did play and also fractured myself 5 times in the process. Being compared to the Burj Khalifa by a stranger has now become a daily ritual for me. However there is no one label defining me completely. The person inside me is a mix of evil, loyal and clumsy- courtesy to my dysfunctional family – don’t get me wrong I love them a lot and can’t really do without them.
From being stressed about the smallest inconvenience that occurs to procrastinating to being full of ego – the one thing I’ve learnt is that always be clam, believe in yourself and go with the flow. There are many elements that make me who I am – this puzzle that nobody can solve not even me, myself. Every individual is unique and while you may be similar to someone to will never be the exact same- just like your fingerprints.
