I am a different person to different people. Annoying to one. Talented to another. Quiet to few. Unknown to a lot. But who am I, to me?

Some people think I'm annoying, may it be because of how I look at people, may it be the so-called confidence they thought I always carry, may it be because I don't socialize with them, and I don't give a shit about their dramas, or maybe I am just annoying to them for no reason.

I am also a talented one to others. May it be because I am an academic achiever, a student leader, or someone they think who can do everything. They see me as someone who is talented and can do a lot of things. They see me as someone who is gifted with things such as my brain and skills.

And I am quite one to many. To them, I am a silent person who prefers observing and listening to people rather than talking. They see me as someone who prefers reading books with coffee rather than socializing with people. I am quiet to them because I don't talk a lot, I mostly ignore all their dramas and fuss. I tend to be quiet when everyone and everything is in chaos.

But who am I, to me? With those different personalities to different people, who am I, to me? I don't know who am I, to me. Am I really annoying? Or am I talented, or am I really a quiet person? With those several personalities, I've lost sight of who I am. I don't know who really am I.

I find myself caught in a whirlwind of uncertainty. The mirror reflects different facets of my being, each shadowed by external judgments and expectations. The question lingers, echoing in the chambers of my mind: Who am I, truly, beneath the layers of societal labels and projections?

I navigated the maze of self-discovery, like a traveler in an unfamiliar land, I wander through the labyrinth of self-discovery, seeking signposts that will guide me back to the core of my being. Each encounter, whether perceived as annoying, talented, or quiet, serves as a mirror reflecting a fragment of my multifaceted identity.

After navigating the maze of self-discovery, I realize that amidst the various perceptions others have of me, I am simply me. I am a blend of different traits and qualities, but at the core, I am just who I am. Embracing my unique mix of annoyances, talents, and quietness, I come to the simple truth that I am me. Through self-discovery and acceptance, I find comfort in being true to myself, beyond the judgments and expectations of others.

In the tapestry of my existence, crafted with threads of annoyance, talent, quietness, and more personalities. I discovered the beauty of self-acceptance and the freedom that comes with being true to myself. With each step forward, I walk confidently in the knowledge that my worth and identity are not defined by external perceptions, but by the unwavering truth of my own being. I am me, and that is enough.

Thank you for reading my work. I am just a girl who likes to write the things in my head that I can’t tell anyone.
