MY STATE OF EXISTENCE

Life...That's just it. It's happening all around me and it fascinates me. Life can and does beat the shit out of me but surviving that is what life is about. And this blog is about me, someone who doesn't fit any stereotype or label. There are alot of labels I posess Pakistani, Muslim, Young, Gay, Student but I don't want to fit in some pre-conceived notion of those labels. I maintain my individuality and this blog is the affirmation of my uniqueness.

WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?

As a child I have injured my head by falling down a lot and I think that must have damaged me some how. If I hadn't broken my crown so many times then I would probably be a normal non-eccentric chum who would experience life in a normal way. Nature made sure that I turn up retarded instead so that I would have a special, novelty appeal for people. Down memory lane now:

I was such an adventurous, full-of-life, hyperactive and fearless child. I was famous all over my neighborhood and with relatives for always being up to some mischief. I used to live in an urban area so I didn't have the great out doors to go wild in but I made use of everything that I had. I used to climb the 'Aam ka Darakht(mango tree) and the walls all the time. I used to give courses to other kids on how to reach your rooftop by climbing up the wall. I was fearless about everything. I loved the fastest rollercoasters, I dived in with gusto in the sea, I loved to jump in the swimming pool from the highest diving board, I used to traverse a river near our house by jumping on slippery stepping stones. I was always ready to try anything. Due to this reason I used to fall and get hurt a lot but that never deterred me. I have broken my crown so many times (no wonder I'm retarded!). The point is that I was full-of-life, zesty, fearless and bold so what has happened to me now? I feel I'm a different person now and this person is too insecure and scared to love life and live it by taking risks--the way life is supposed to be lived.
