We all have names but do you think we own it? They call us names but somewhere out there, other people use the same name and it was never difficul to find someone who has identical name with you. We differ in our skin colors; in our nationality; in our heights and weights; and in our attributes but do those things really describe the inner you? Well I was asked recently by someone, “Who are you?” It made me wonder and questioned myself, “Who am I?”
When I was a kid, I have someone who I always lean on. I am a cheerful kid and I do not sweat blood about the things that bring me pain because I had someone who was there to help me. I am close to my parents but I am more attached to my sister. When she died, I have been lost for years. It seemed like I do not know myself anymore or it is just that I have never known my very definition since I always depend on her and been hiding from her back. She is the oldest sibling I have and now that she's gone, I am carrying with me all the burdens and responsibilities she used to bear. As time goes by I slowly realize the pain she has carried when she was alive but she still managed to make me believe that it was easy to cope up with everyone’s expectations. Then my world changed. The world I used to believe in changed. It was supposed to be a lively world and that all the people that live here are tenderhearted humans but I was wrong. I woke up! The world is full of monsters! And then on, I wanted to change people by knowing them and giving them a reason to change by themselves.
I am strong and upbeat they say though they do not know that at night I cry for missing my sister, for all the troubles I am dealing with no one to run to, and for all the people who kept on pushing me down. But I trust myself; I want to return all the hardships of my mom and dad. I just don't like being so caring at all times. I give my very best to help who ever needs it as long as I can; I care for all those that needs someone; I give some pieces of my heart to those who feel lonely, but in return they turn their back at me and tend to forget that I exist without me knowing any reasons why. At the end, I am left with nothing but too many whys. People never knew the difficulties I bare and they always believe that I am a happy-type of a person who does not deal with knots and they also don't know that I am a cheerful person not because I don't want to show my weaknesses but to make people around me happy. I love to love people without asking for anything in return. And that makes me unique. I am still amaze knowing my very self.
I love children and for that, ever since I was a kid, I wish that my profession will be as a teacher. I even day dream that I am already teaching, I have my own cubicle at the school I love to work in, and that I am wearing the uniform of the noblest profession. But that dream was long forgotten when my sister died. She asked me before she died, "Please give mom and dad a child who is Engineer. Please do it on my behalf". Since it was my sisters last request, I willingly did it. Now I am currently studying the same degree my sister took which is Electronics Engineering. It was hard at first for the very reason that I have no ideas about it. Aside from loving numbers and mathematics, I have nothing else to offer to this course so I have been lost and I do not know where to start with. But bit by bit I embraced it and now I kind of love it. All I ever dream now is to be a successful and professional Engineer in the near future to make my parents proud, to make a better future for my family, and to make my sister happy.
Before I knew about Steemit, I have been contemplating on where I should work for part time to have an income and give my parents a lesser burden when it comes to financial. Then a friend introduced Steemit to me. By the time I indulged myself in Steemit, I discovered a new part of me. I am not so used to interact with other people but I learned from Steemit how to cope up socially. All my life I needed someone I can share my experiences and also learn from him/her. It was not all about the money I can get from Steemit, rather the involvement, new friends, discoveries and knowledges I gather there. I now have a better view of life, a new perspective and a much meaningful world. There are way better and meaningful things inside steemit than steemit itself.
I write most: about travel since I love going to places, I really want to share my experiences on Steemit and to show other Steemians the places they have never been but still a go-to-place; about science, technology and engineering because I love embracing the knowledges I gathered at school and I really want to let people have a wider view of things in life and not only focus on one thing; and also about arts which I learned from a friend and every time I draw something I see a much colourful world.
Since my day 1 here in Steemit, there was a man with a huge heart that really loves helping minnows like me. I tried my best to walk along the road of success here in this community but I felt like I was a baby that it seemed like I am in need to crawl my way in. It seemed that in every step I take, the gate also walked its way away from me. I felt so susceptible but a man held my hand, taught me how to walk and stayed with me till this very day. I still tasted the bumpy roads where it seemed like no one cares about the blog you wrote. Then he reminded me of his wisdoms. He told me, “If you use your story you can’t be human rather you turn out to be extraordinary. Write a post with full soul”. People started to know me. The comment section that was a no-care area was filled with people who admired me; I felt love that is way more than the money I got from here. He even let me have a very great privilege to be part of steemecrets. Most of us must have known him with his username @surpassinggoogle because he have helped almost all minnows and been giving his best for world adjustment. He believes that we have everything it takes to fly even without wings. Believe me, read all that are in the @steemsecrets and you’ll be enlightened with every revelations; get yourself involve in @teardrops and you’ll realize that every tears counts plus those grows you; be proud and stay real since it is better than likeable and cute and remember in @untalented that real is beauty; and vote for @steemgigs as a witness to raise world adjustment.
Somehow, people were so endeavor in attaining their success in steemit community thus it would be a great success in their part endulging a breakthrough on their blog. If I were given the chance to have this shot, I would rather have everything in a way that my co-Steemians will be satisfied and gratified with my post. I will focus more on sharing my knowledge or educating other steemians through my learnings. Why? For the reason that in this life I treasure more about the knowledge given and shared to or by other people because I believe that it is the only thing that can't be robbed, snatched, stole, or taken away from you.
Yours Truly,
SISSY

Hi! Thank you so much for sharing your life story with us. As I was reading your post, I could really feel the pain you are feeling about losing your sister. I didn't know how it feels like to lose someone really close but as I was reading your post, you let me feel how painful that is. It is sad. :( But know that God has a purpose in everything. You may not be able to know His purpose today but one day, you will realize it. Continue to be a happiness to other people even if they will end up turning their backs at you. Continue to bear that smile you have. They're really pretty. Continue to stay happy even if it is hurting inside. Just cry it all out to God and he will heal those wounds in His perfect time.

This is such an important question we must ask ourselves in order to know where we want to go in this journey of life. It is very hard to answer sometimes due to several internal, as well as external variables, but once we find this inner consciousness of who we are then there are no boundaries to what we are able to achieve.
I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your sister, this deeply saddens me, but know that she is looking down and very proud of you each and every day.
I can really connect with your overall story and am glad that you have found steemit as another alternative to help you keep pushing forward. keep up the great work here and you will continue to be rewarded for all your hard work!! thanks so much for sharing, your very heartfelt story with all of us :))
Keep steeming my friend !!

This is one of the most beautiful posts I've ever come across here on Steemit. My eyes were wet and my chest became heavy when I read about your sister. I can't even imagine how much pain you had to go through, but I know how it feels like to lose a loved one. Know that she's living through you as you are finishing what she started. It makes you a great human being and you deserve all the love this world has to offer. Yes, there are so many monsters in this cruel world polluting our lives, but they have always been here, and always remain... like the dark of night. But remember no matter how deeply dark the night is, the morning always outshines it with its divine glow. And as it's true that when there's darkness, there's light; it is also true that if there's monsters, there are real humans too, with pure hearts and souls. And you are one of them. Not many people can give up their most beloved dream for a loved one, it is the most purest of selfless deeds. But you can still teach children. When you finish your degree, start working and you have a day off from your work, you can teach some poor children with your knowledge, or you can open an YouTube channel where you give lessons to children. I hope and pray that all your dreams come true. You are a wonderful human being. Keep shining and make the world a better place Sissy. May the almighty Allah bless you for eternity. ☺
