We all have multiple identities.
Some of us keep our identities hidden, just like superheroes. I know I did. I tried to be cool when I was younger, I'd act a certain way according to the group of friends I'd hang out with. I'd spend too much money on clothes because I wanted to look like that famous person I saw on the magazine, and the magazine said I only needed 1 step to look like her. "All you need is an oversized denim jacket!" and I believed it. What a lie. I still looked like me, just with a jacket 3 sizes too big. Over the years, the group of people I hanged out with narrowed down a little. I didn't need large crowds of attention anymore, I needed relationship. I didn't need likes on instagram, I want you to like me. As a person, not a picture. I tell people straight up that I'm not a great alcohol-drinker, I sleep at 10, my favourite vegetable is the cucumber, I like Justin Bieber, I still watch Disney series that are inappropriate for my current age, I don't really like Games Of Thrones (whoahh, I said it shoot me.) and I am afraid of large groups of people. My identity got clearer as I got more secure in myself. I used to think I had to say the right things so people would like me. *Don't roll your eyes, you've been there too.* So, if me having a bedtime of 10, and an avid hobby of candy-crushing on a daily basis is not cool... Joyce Khoo is not cool. I repeat, not. cool.
