"I often forget of who I am", said my brother, Reymond.
When I look around me, everything seems normal for me, everything feels just right for who I am. I grew up in such simple family, went to school, met my friends, did normal things... but, as time went by, I realized that I was born "gifted".
Unlike other people who are "gifted" as much as I do, or even more, we are like living in a whole different world. My childhood was like a piece of paper and crayons, and those people are like softwares and computer. But you know, I am really glad that I lived my life with paper and crayons. Even though my crayons weren't as fancy as computers, still, they put beautiful colors on my paper. Same thing happened for my brothers and my sister.
As time went by, I realized that for all those years I was using crayons, they weren't just crayons. They were fancy crayons, I just never knew. Now, I know that I could have using computer just like the others, I feel awkward because I never been around a computer. Sure it takes time to get used to it, learning from how use the tools, configuring the systems, start installing softwares, and cannot stop staring the screen.
Good thing about that is, now I know how to use the computer, but I also know how to draw with crayons.
The problem is, since I have been drawing with my crayons the whole time, I forgot that I can use computer now. So, when it is already the time to bring out the computer, I still carrying my crayons with me. I need to be more carefully observe the situation, and be flexible with my tools. One who is "gifted" should look as one, should talk as one, do thing as one, and become as one.
