I feel as if I am slightly talented, those around me complement me on my singing, my art work,my writing, or my day to day comedy acts. However I find myself pushing those talents and complements aside. Why do I chose to downplay what I have? and instead I try and reach after things that I don't have but others do. I was talking today in math with my group about being smart, and you know how teachers always say' you're smart you just don't know it'? they say that to ALL kids, generally speaking I believe that there are stupid people in the world. I am constantly compared (based on smarts) to my sisters, but what if it's true? what if I am just a blip in my mom and dad's gene pool. Not to bash on myself but I may have great Ideas but because I can not form them into words they remain inside me, non-existent to the world, therefore leaving me UN-brilliant. I think that if I want to go far in life I have to stick to what I know, Religion and Family, because what are the odds that one day the world, or really even just the U.S. would accept ME for my talents? What are the odds that I could be singing on stage in front of thousands or that millions around the world are reading MY book or bidding on MY art? What are the odds that I could die known? The odds have always been against me anyways. I want to die and have more than my immediate friends and family know about the greatness that was in me, it was just clouded by my looks, my religion, my family, my my school, my dumb outer shell. I believe I can do great things I just can't take action, therefore it is non-existent and so there is no greatness at all. All and all were just another brick in the wall. Right? I don't see myself as a conceited person but it is a goal of mine that before I die that I am known, Known for who I am and what I can do.
Thanks for reading you guys!
