Just a few hours ago, upon continuous insistence
of my mom, I accompanied her and my sister to a local women's park. It's one of
the projects undertaken by Baldia town Karachi, all painted in yellow and
green. To my amazement, the park was home to many visitors today. The last
time, I passed by, it was newly inaugurated and hence, deserted.I chose to sit on a bench and practise my
see-through skills on the people around. Sitting there, I thought to myself how
ordinary I am at times, choosing to go with the flow, doing what everyone else
has been, acting like I have no brains of my own. I am as ordinary as others
surrounding me. I take pride in that. In my head, I have jot down a whole list
of things I wanna be in near future. So had others. On the first look, they'd
seem different but from within, stems one desire: Quest to do better, be
better, live better. My definition of 'better' is very much distinct from
others, but in the end it doesn't really matter. We all are in a state of being
dissatisfied from where we stand at the moment and want more, more of
everything.But then, undoubtedly, I'm different. I
choose to be. I might be one ordinary kid right now, but I don't intend to
remain being one. My perspectives doesn't reflect those of my parents, I can
form opinions of my own accord. I do things I think are 'right', I refrain from
the 'wrong' ones. I agree, I disagree or just remain silent. I'm open to new
and crazy ideas and let my imagination break through the boundaries holding me
in real life. I'm determined and inspired to do something unique, so that when
I embrace death, I'm not one of those thousands who die everyday and nobody but
a few close relatives pay a heed. I wanna be remembered in good ways. And
someday, hopefully, would I be able to make my name. And then I'd no longer be
ordinary; I'd be DIFFERENT. If that's a good thing.
