Childhood Memories

Do I Have a Passion or just following Instructions?

What is my passion? I’ve been asking myself for years.

And till now, I still don’t know the answer.

Since I was young, I was taught to obey.

LISTEN. FOLLOW. DON’T ARGUE

So I did. Not because I wanted to.

But because I was very afraid.

very afraid of disappointing.

Very afraid of making them angry.

Very afraid of being “wrong.”

Sometimes, I felt like a puppet. Someone else holding the strings.

As I grew up, I didn’t become braver.

I just became quieter. I learned to hide my thoughts.

To accept their dreams as mine.

Now when people ask, “What do you love doing?”

I freeze. I realise I don’t know what I love.

But at least now, I’m asking.

And maybe… that’s the start.
