I thought it was funny how I got a job in UN, but it was no surprise for Steve. It’s funny but when my close friend, Steve, utters several phrases from his mouth, it’s quite hard to ignore them since he’s not the type who likes to open his mouth unless it’s extremely needed. So, whatever he says has to be true on a 80:20 ratio for possibly true is to assumption.
According to Steve and KP, I found out that I was the social head in our friendship circle. Three of us agreed that we were all survivors of a bad past and pretty messed up childhood. Steve had to struggle his life in a discriminating neighbourhood of a different color and race. KP survived through his childhood with every lessons learnt through either a fist or a quarrel. I, on the other hand, grew up around diplomacy and superficiality.
Steve and I mentioned about how we’re all too influenced by such things from the past to the point that no matter how much we’re aware of its influence as we grow up, our reactions rely on that influence way before we allow ourselves to let it take over our decisions. Like it or not, knowing superficiality isn’t that cool, I somehow would subconsciously strike the most superficial maneuver without me knowing I did it, only to find out that I’ve done it once I was aware of avoiding to do it.
Life is an uphill climb and as Steve, KP and I keep climbing, we noticed life would always be a huge struggle and it’s rather wise to keep learning as we go while being aware of the pain life can bring. Like how waxing does not hurt a person after several visits, we think it’s right to move on with a built in knowledge that life is in fact gonna throw us more bad shit our way. All because we all can’t help who we’ve become but we can give time to solve it out in the end somehow.
So, yeah.. I finally came to terms about the obviousness of working for the UN. I, in fact, am the most diplomatic and social person of the three of us. Like it or not, my superpower is diplomacy and my weakness is the ground I stand on. Yet somehow, those two balance my everyday life to be who I am, which is pretty much loved by most at this point and that I have no issues with. I’m happy just the way I am.
