This is my entry for the @surpassinggoggle untalented contest.
Who am I?
If I said i am a writer, would the answer be a resounding yes or an unqualified answer in the negative?
Who am I?
I am just a a sick introvert with hyper active friends. I like to keep my demons to myself, and soliloquise when it reaches the height of depression. I guess that is why I have friends who are in almost cross roads with me.
I am taciturn. I say little to strangers, but a musical bird with family. I guess the exposure of my schooling profession as made me reach out more to people in the first instance.
Strong Points
I am an excellent judge of character and tend to understand people and who they are with just a few words of conversation.
I am not in anyway saying that I am a psychologist, neither do I have any degree in clinical psychology. I could just tell the nature of a person. Call it intuition, if you really want to find a name for my abilities.
I am a good talker but soft spoken.
I am very attracted to those who are humorously intellectual. I find pleasure in knowing more.
Joys
Writing found me at the height of my depressed state. It was the only world to pour out my pains, distaste, and hurt without being judged, without the false smiles of pleasing acquaintances and the soothing words of family. In it i found a state of understanding to the maze of my mind.
I find happiness in the joy of my mother. Maybe because she is the only parent left. Her sadness moves me to tears. I just don't let her know. She has too much to worry about than my soft spot for her moods.
My siblings are a reminder of my father's burden to me. I sometimes curse him for it, but I love those children with every bit of my blood. They still don't know.
Low points
The height of my sadness was when I lost my father. Not because he died, but because he didn't give it a fight before he left. My greatest fears is not to end up like him. I loved and respected him, but when life came hard on him, he found eternal rest. He is a motivation to my hard work.
Maybe I deserved rest from my fears and work, a friend once told me. My reply was; I think my father is doing a perfect job of that for me.
Bucket list
To find happiness in Paris and bond the love at Eiffel's tower. I wish to see Wrestle Mania live. I an a wrestling freak and wwe fan.
Weakness.
I have trust issues. The best I could do is giving a benefit of doubt.
And maybe I expect more from people. That is why I get disappointed when they don't meet up. I have no mentors, they do disappoint most. I just respect people for who they are and what they carry.
I know I will find satisfaction in comforting my family, but not happiness. Why because, when it is achieved, another circle of needs are to be satisfied.
I guess the best words to describe this is;
Happiness is only reserved for those who are not tirelessly work for a new vision in the future. @stellabelle
This is the best thing and most real statement I have heard this year.
I am just a young man with passion to satisfy needs, help the lowly placed and highly occupied, because I have had a feel of both sides of life.
However, my insistence of this particular story of who I am, has not in anyway flatten the many other story that formed the person I am today. I just needed to unearth this part, for it is what drives me.
Apart from citing Tyrion Lannisters celebrated saying on being a good judge of character. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of your story that I enjoyed is
The following quote suo moto tells it's own story but let's leave it at that.
Although I doubt quite agree wit the point you made that you're an introvert. I like to think you're an extrovert who has been humbled by life chuckles softly
Let me leave it at this before I recreate another version of your post. Well done mate!
Well. If anybody would have an understanding of who i am. I will readily point to you.
You have been awesome man. Hope you know?
I duff my hat for this, boss.
Knowing you have been classy, your reserved spirit and the way you spot a rain without cloud checking has always left amazed, and I can say this hitting my chest widely in the public
'you have earned my respect from all angles'
'You have proven your self to be a class to be studied,'
'you are a stone throw from being a subject to be discussed for eternity.'
The respect earned is what i cherished most. I appreciate the kind words @ttopswag. You are a class act.

Hello @gunneresq
You just have to brace yourself because the circle never ends, just as the orbit of pluto is wider than that of Mecury that is the span of what we all will face.
Life does not get easier we only get tougher and by the look of things you orbit have not passed Venus.
The past few days have seen me experience a whole new level of burden and fear but I know that the best way to handle the fear of the unknown is to actually plunge myself into it because I realize that I don't have a choice.
Our curiosity should be always bigger than our Fear because that is when we can really make Impact in the World.
@ogochukwu
@ogochukwu i cant really type in words how i appreciate these words of comfort. I will carry them like a badge on me where ever i find myself. Thanks bro.
This is very touching gunner. And hey, for the record I have always known you had trust issues. But that your statement about your father doing the resting for you, that was quite deep.
Thanks Osita for the words. I have a huge burden taken away from me when i wrote that.
I appreciate the read. I do.
Thank you very much for participating.
i will need to do a full-blown reading over time. i decided to just stop by a bit for now. The turn-out has kept growing (currently around 150 posts that i have to read and counting and support with vote but i submit all entries to some friends as well to support. The experience has been awesome. I will come back for a full blown comment to empower you when i fully read. This is beyond a contest, so there will be a ton of variations to participate in, for fun, community and ultimately to bring about success in every facet, steemit and beyond. The whole endeavor is a curriculum from "school of life", raw down-to-earth stuff, without books involved; stemming from unadulterated love for humans; humans.
