On self-pity...

I've always been surrounded by a lot of GREAT people. Yes, great. Not good. Not bad. Great people.

I've always been jealous of their greatness. Their beauty. Their excellence in whatever they feel like doing.

I never thought of myself as great. Yes, I was good. Yes, I knew I could do anything I want to do... but never master any of it.

As someone has always told me, I am a jack of all trades, master of none.

How can I then live a normal life if I can't even master one skill? One talent? One... concept, even.

I have friends who write as if it's their life's work but master another...

I have friends who can draw, paint and do ART as if... it was their life's passion...

I have techno-geek friends who know how to use software I can't even dream of having in my crappy computer...

I'm studying an Animation course... but what do I know about it?

I watch cartoons but that was just about it. I can't do animation like Walt Disney or Nickelodeon approved! What good am I to study this course if I'm to have competition to a great extent?

I'm not saying I'm worthless... I'm just saying that I want to master a skill. I don't want to be a jack of all trades. I want to master something... anything.

I can't cook. Clean. Draw. Write. Fiddle with techno-stuff.

All I'm good for is.......

I can't think of anything...

What good am I?

Will I stay as a student, jobless?

Will I stay as a girlfriend who whines a lot but does nothing?

I don't want your advice. I don't want your sympathy. All I want is a realization... and I don't want it from you.

I've seen too much hypocrisy... yeah... probably that's it...
