- Everybody has secrets. It's all just a part of ourselves ... we all have certain sides of us that we don't expose to the whole world, even the most intimate of friends, don't we? Just like what Mark Twain once said, every one is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.
I need to find an outlet, a place where I can truly be myself and not care about the sneering glances and judgemental whispers of the outside world. In this life, I've made countless mistakes and what's more important is that I've learnt a lot from them as well. I am only seventeen, after all. And there is a longer journey that I must walk before I reach my final destination, wherever that is.
For as long as I remember, I have lived in Malaysia, a relatively unknown country in Asia. But I'm pretty sure that the daily frustrations that I go through are no different from teenagers of the West. My life is no fairytale and I'm no princess. In fact, I've never remembered having a lavishing life, though my life remains to be tolerable and comfortable enough. And with that said, I even think that my life is fairly interesting ... Even though nothing out of the ordinary has ever happened to me. I have not climbed Mount Everest, had a conversation with the President of the United States and I've never skinny dipped before. Though I'm convinced that somewhere along the way, I'll find opportunities to explore other areas that are strangers to me.
And here, I will unveil my journey and tell the tale of my life.
