I have been meaning to write my life's story for so many months now and I still couldn't find the words that would start everything. Whenever I try writing I always end up staring at the monitor unsure of how to start.
How do you start telling your life's story? Do you start by describing yourself? Or does it matter if you don't?
My life is not exactly interesting. It's no fairytale, has no exciting twists and turns like action movies, nor is it an epic worthy of Maalaala Mo Kaya. It is as normal as any other normal human being in this planet.
I was born in a typical Filipino family in a pretty little town surrounded by mountains, nearly denuded forests and God-knows what else. I studied in a Christian school, grew up in a christian family but that did not make me less of a sinner. I went off to a university in a far away place literally beyond the mountains, as far from home as I could possibly be.
I couldn't think of a single instance in my life that should be worth mentioning or interesting. I can't find a single instance that I could be really proud of, except probably jumping the 7foot wall of our school when I was in high school. And I am not even sure if it is something to be proud of.
The highlights of my boring life includes receiving a one-week worth of violation slip for not wearing my cravat when I was still in Science High School, being forced to join in a stupid pageant and finding out that it really-truly sucks, joining the university student publication and experiencing harassment in different forms and realizing that I am nothing but a writer, a dreamer, and a froglet.
Aside from these, I could not find anything else to say. The happenings in my life are so mundane and boring that sometimes I find myself wondering how I am able to survive it for 19 years.
There is nothing more to write because there was nothing really worth writing for in the first place. And with this, I could only conclude that my life's story is still unwritten and will probably remain so until the end.
