Who am I?
I follow my ways, my beliefs, and anything I find reasonable according to myself. What’s a man without his opinions? Nobody, that’s who…and I’m not that. My ethics are important to me, in fact, they’re my guidelines to my everyday life.
Don’t expect respect unless it’s given. Never hit a girl, unless she’s crazy and trying to kill me or something. There’s too many to think of. Although, there is one extremely important one, the one that’s my biggest guide.
I remember back in high school, when I just realized how unjust the world was. Then I wondered, “Why do bad things always happen to people, including me?” That’s when I first started getting into the whole idea of karma.
Karma. It was just a belief back then but today, one of the guidelines to my life.
It’s logical. I mean, it has some real life value behind the idea, it’s not just superstition. Like, if I randomly walked through the hallways in school and punched some kid in the face? I’d expect the possibility of getting hit in the face one day, most likely by him or one of his friends.
I use just the idea of it too. What goes around comes around, that’s specifically what it is to me. It’s why I would never cheat on a girl or try to talk to someone else’s girl, even if they were on the verge of breaking up. I wouldn’t want someone doing the same to me, so why do it to them? Karma is just me playing my small part in making the world a bit fairer.
I don’t like being the kid who “looks like that guy” or “talks like that guy.” The point is, I don’t like being similar to others. I just feel like there’s less attention towards me when I’m one out of the two, or three or more, rather than just the one and only. Then again, I’m not going to lie, I am similar to some people in some ways, but not because I want to be. That’s never the reason why. I try to be as unique as I can be, but apparently some other people just happen to take the same turns in the same direction.
I can be a hypocrite at times. But it’s not like I’d purposely contradict myself. If I know I’ve gone and been a hypocrite, I’ll admit it. When it comes to things like that, like arguments, I’d rather accept my faults and lose. It’s more of a benefit to me, at least I get to walk away and know I’m the bigger person. Besides, there are just some people you can’t win against, like my brother or dad. They don’t even know what they talk about half the time when they’re arguing, but they’ll still argue. I guess I learned that lesson the hard way.
Who am I? I know who. I’m nobody else.
