Do you think it's easy to be me? Do you think it's easy studying in a place where 90% of its population are Chinese and 90% of that 90% is Chinese-educated? Do you think it's easy being discriminated based on your colour? Do you think it's easy being smart? I assure you it is not . Do you think it's easy being surrounded by people who belittle your intelligence? People who say "Oh, he's so smart, he does not need to study". Like intelligence is a curse to begin with. Do you think it's easy being hounded by insecure imbeciles? Yes, I am arrogant. But being an arrogant smart-ass beats being an insecure dumbass anyday. Do you think it's easy having to keep a minimum grade every semester? Do you think it's easy living up to the expectations of everyone around you? Being dumb is easy. Being smart is harder than most people give credit for. Do you think it's easy being the go-to person for spell and grammar checks? Sure, correcting can be a piece of cake at times, but even then effort and time must be put into the work. Do you think it's easy organizing every single gethering you and your friends have? And when I say this I do not limit it to one circle of friends, but almost every circle you have. Do you think it's easy having to put up with other people being unmannered and totally reckless? Do you think it's easy having to put up with people who just won't listen to you? Do you think it's easy needing to put on a fake smile everytime something angers you? So let me ask you once again ... Do you think it's easy being me? *** p/s: This post is not directed at anyone in particular. If this post had hit a nerve somewhere in you then it only goes to show that you have wronged me in some way =P I just needed to rant out this one last time as the year comes to an end due to the surmounting stress from things I've been going through in the past month. Had I not ranted out somewhere I would not be typing this, rather I would be wearing a straitjacket, locked up in a padded cell drooling on the cushion walls in a mental asylum. And oh, Chang, if you decide to comment on my emo post this time, please try to leave your real name. Lol it's not use denying it. I have a tracker. Last emo post for the old year, k? =) |
