Viewing my life from afar, it
seems perfect. All the smiles and laughter, the good grades and achievements,
the strong personality I show—they can be deceiving. But watching it closely,
it has a lot of imperfections.
My life is like a flawed video
clip. A series of cuts has to be done to eliminate the unnecessary elements.
They have to be weeded out. A touch of effects has to be applied to patch up
the mediocre parts and make the good areas better.
But no matter how much you try to
hide the imperfections, they can still be seen once the video clip is
scrutinized well. They cannot disappear totally. They’re all present, things
you cannot detach from reality.
Am I hiding my imperfections?
No…and yes. I’m not the type of person who sends double meanings about my
personality. I’ve shown people my weaknesses and never have I been ashamed of
them. I admitted my wrongdoings and did my best to rectify them. But like
everyone else, there’s still a skeleton in my closet. A bunch of things I wish
I never did. Or, do I?
I will never try to justify them,
but I will not look down on myself, either. Because like a flawed video, my
life still has a chance for improvements.
