*31/7 edit* THis was previously unpublished because someone I confided in told me not to tell anyone about this, but right now, since my blog's off public-hands, I'm posting it because I don't really like typing what I feel andkeeping it unposted. For me, it feels idiotic, because since I have the guts to write this, why don't I have the guts to post it? Anyways, yeah, whatever.
Enjoy my rant-slash-the dark side of my life. *edit note fin*
Major rant and teenage related problems ahead. Beware, you've been warned.
Something happened in chemistry today, and it honestly got me thinking for the whole day....
Who am I exactly?
Okay, before you launch off into judgmental note about me being some attention-seeking, undecided teenager who is still finding her identity and all that worthless shitless crap, stop it. As a matter a fact, I'd say that actually I
thought I had it figured out waaayyy back then since I entered Form Two or so.
But lately, with all that stupid 16 drama that somehow magically happens (my ass), I find myself doubting every second of what I had thought of back then. For instance, a very simple one, when everyone (especially my sister) were so undecided about what they wanted to do in the future, I would secretly scoff and told them proudly I knew what I wanted. I couldn't be an illustrator or cartoonist, so I would work with my language skills and become a linguist or something to do with language. But now, I find myself wondering if I had really wanted to study linguistics; it's too broad, too general.
This happened a few months ago, right at the start of the year I suppose, so now I conclude that as time passes by and you start growing up, you somehow find yourself weighing and considering more options you had never thought of when you were much younger. Is this a sign of maturity? Or is it a sign of downright indecision that starts to cloud your mind?
Anyways, moving on, chemistry today. Someone said something, and that something made me think of another thing. Maybe it's just me, but truthfully I am a very self-conscious person (sounds obnoxious, but don't judge, this is the raw side of me). So when that someone said something, I wondered, what do friends see you as in their own mind anyway? First they see the first impressions you leave on them, and because you weren't very sure of yourself, you tend to shut off the wilder, more fun-seeking side of yourself, and try to start building a good relationship with your friends.
And from that moment onwards, your friends you see as the person in the first impressions you had left on them, and never thought of anything else.
But as time passes by and you get more comfortable, it starts to leak out. You start being the one you supposed it was you, the bolder side of you, and not some rebellious streak that came at the wrong place wrong time. But somehow, maybe your friends aren't used to the one they are seeing now, or maybe they just have personal issues against something you don't know. I don't know. And they start whispering things that somehow like my friend has said, catches up with you and you catch hold of them.
Is it correct? Are friends not the ones who should accept for who you are alongside with your family? What is it that I have done so insensitively to make you feel like this? Tell me, and I'll work on it. But just something I'd like to share, right up to the moment before I heard about that 'something', even though I was busy doing something else, I felt quite happy for the first time since I graduated from primary school. I know, I have friends now that I cherish even more than my primary school ones, but I felt as if despite all the chaos happening, I was starting to creep out of that shell around me ever since I built it after form one, daring to show frustration and anger and not keep a silly "everything's my fault and not yours even though actually it's yours and you're angering me like hell and deep down I feel like skinning you" smile.
Those who read this might think all this while I'm fake and all, but it's just another teenage problematic phase I'm recovering from right now, and I'm glad I'm getting out of it because I'm sick of it.
So just when I thought things were going fine, it jumped out on me so suddenly. Am I wrong? Yes, I think I'm partly at fault for not warning what kind of person I am, but if it's not all about this, then why don't you just tell me? Have I neglected you? If I did, then I'm sorry, I didn't think you needed me because you looked fine to me, though looks can be deceiving.
Things are easier said than done, that is something I know and understand. It's just like I actually have the guts to write this all down and show it to the world but I might not have what it takes to fully crawl out of that old shell in just a matter of minutes, doing a 360 degrees turn.
But I'm working on it, so why can't you work on telling me what you think I did wrong straight to my face? I'm not some fragile piece of china antique, even though I can't believe and had a hard time swallowing the fact that someone said that, but at least after some time's thinking, I realised it was a good chance for me to self-reflect on what I was doing lately, as I seem to lose track of my actions due to the busy-ness in school. So I thank you for saying that, because right now I am more aware of my actions, but it would still be good to give me a reason/explanation on why you said that.
Honestly, I would really appreciate it if you did. Thanks.
This post might contain some typos or grammatical error because I'm using my sister's Mac to type, and it's quite tiring since it feels weird and I'm exhausted from this whole week's activities, so yeah.
Good night.
