In this lecture we finalized our draft of the essay. Ma’am also briefed us upon how our final assignment has to be presented. We have to make an A5 foldout with a cover page designed by us during our imaging lectures. My final foldout was also selected by ma’am to be displayed for our studio day.
Below is my final draft –
Answering the question ‘ who am I ? ‘ is a very complex because there are parts of our lives we have no idea about. But I can definitely say that 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 side. 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. Hence I’m generally a lonely soul without my accustomed group.
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 him a piece of my mind – just like a sleeping volcano that may explode anytime. I’m definitely not a cheerful and bubbly person all the time ( actually – most ) of the time but I do have my shiny days in between the matte ones – like an eye shadow palette. Speaking of which – make up is something I am secretly addicted to but my looks are on the extremes ie either a zombie or a straight up diva – nothing in the grey area.
Speaking of my overall vibe, let me warn you I have the patience level of a butterfly – can’t stop fidgeting around a room. I have a hard time concentrating on a thing especially while talking – simple 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 and also ended up fracturing myself 5 times. Being compared to burj khalifa by a stranger daily has now become a ritual. However there is no 1 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 and cant really do without them. But its also because of them that my anxiety levels shoot up like a bullet fired from a gun.
From being stressed about the smallest inconvenience that occurs to procrastinating to being full of ego – the one thing I have learnt is to always be calm, believe in yourself and go with the flow . Beyond a point you can not control what’s going to happen but being understanding and helpful to others is what will make life easier and happier. I’m a strong believer of karma so what goes around will come around someday. Never lose hope.
There are many elements that make me who I am – this mirror maze that nobody can really walk out of in the first try – not even me, myself. Every individual is unique and while you may be similar to someone you will never be the exact same – just like fingerprints.
