How many times have you tried to link yourself with a character you saw in a movie or read in a book? And then, of course, comparing your life story with that character’s… Lost count, right? Atleast, I have. I’ve not only compared myself to the character. But also thought of people comparing me to that character. As in, what does this person think about me? Is he/ she also thinking so?
So ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to myself. I’m the girl people don’t write about… I’m the girl you don’t read about or watch in teen movies. I’m one of the most insignificant characters in a novel.
Let me explain, how… I ain’t the nerdy girl. Who in fact, has a perfect life; but just cribs about how she couldn’t be one of the hot popular kids. In the end, the hot jock/ school bad boy falls for. I’m neither the hot cheerleader who initially has a perfect life but as the story ends, realises what bitch (excuse the language) she was to so many people. In my school, they aren’t just stories. They’re real life expectations of people. The nerds are waiting for the jocks to notice them and the cheerleaders rule the world.
Dear reader, I’m the girl who know that’s not the only future. I’m the girl who is nerdy to the core when it comes to studying but also the one who knows how to have fun. The girl who is as innocent as a child to many. And as wild as a lion in a jungle to few. I’m the one who has learnt one simple fact in life, “you won’t get this freaking time or life back!”
I know how to live my life. But also know how important it is to maintain your values and ethics along with following the principles you make for yourself. I talk to everyone (some people might say that I have a lot of friends… But that’s a story for another time) and I even hang out with a lot of people. But I don’t let that come in between my studies. I’m assertive on the fact that, nothing is effortless in this world. You want a good body. Work for it! You want pretty hair. Do something!
This is the introduction to the girl you left behind while reading books and watching movies… I’m pretty sure this girl isn’t just me…
