My true Identity

I am trying very hard not to run away screaming into the mountains where silence and absolute anonymity will greet me warmly and allow me to settle down peacefully in its lap. I made a big fool of myself the other day in front of all my friends and all I want is for the time to roll back and give me another chance. I tried to pacify myself (after sleeping under my blanket for almost 1 day) and also put up a Facebook status (as if it is going to take away the embarrassment).

Having said that, I remember a quote which says “Everybody is going to hurt, choose the people who will hurt you the least”. As the second kid in my family, I never stayed away from my parents and was pampered to the highest extent possible. I was a naïve boy until I came to the US of A and then bam! the life started showing its true colors to me. I tried to sail into the middle of the ocean safely but the waves of today’s world battered me severely and pushed me into total darkness. A great saint said “You will come alone into this world and have to leave alone”, but nobody told me that I have to suffer alone.

I love being challenged, love winning and I am sure that I will be successful one day given the myriad of opportunities. Why not? After all I am supposedly in the Land of Opportunities. I believe my true identity lie in writing. I cannot express how contended I feel right now as I am posting this on my blog for the first time (after a lot of deliberation and procrastination). I already feel elated as my roommate had a smile on his face as he read the first two sentences.

I am thankful for my small laptop, a curious brain, my comforter and 3 meals every day. I still haven’t shed my shyness in talking to new people and hopefully this will bring them closer.

Please be considerate in pointing out any mistakes.
