Ever wondered what goes on in her mind?
My name is Alethea.
I am 14 years old
I have this delusional thing that my name is the best name in the world, but that's just my subconciousness trying to grasp some part of myself that is not self loathing.
I have almost non existent self esteem. Even though I play 3 instruments (well, lets just leave it at 3) and I am supposedly I am a gymnast (I think I am too fail to be under that title), I'm under the impression I am bad at everything. (Which I am!)
I have a very obsessive nature. I am also quite unpredictable and unreliable and I'm scared of being social.
On of my special talents is yodelling.
That's how weird I am of course.
I like talking using words with more that 3 syllables to make it sound as if I am speaking a language other than English, even though that's the only language I speak. I'm a disgrace to Asians apparently because I cannot speak the language in which my complexion screams out otherwise.
I am obsessed with big words and psychological disorders and paradoxes of all kinds.
I have survived through a 7.1 magnitude earthquake and numerous aftershocks, and been to 7 different schools in my life. (And 5 gym clubs and I don't even want to start counting the teachers.)
I fear I am a pessimist.
Sometimes I am a grammar freak too.
This blog is to help other understand what goes on in my head.
Good luck with that!

"You're crazy!"
"I know!"
When I first heard of 'stereotypes' I thought we were going to learn about AM and FM. What kind of name is 'stereotypes' for a crude/misleading/blunt generalisation?!
Stereotypes are ridiculous. Ridiculously ridiculous. The amount of hurt or humiliation they can imply on someone (both the one who assumes and the one who is assumed) is just stupid. It was because of stereotypes that people spoke to me so slowly that they unintentionally made up a new language, it was because of stereotypes that back in the day I was paired with the girl with Downs Syndrome even through I'm in the gifted and talented program now, and it was because of stereotypes that boys went easy on me and ended up losing to me in press-ups (push-ups, depending on where you live and pull ups to the next exercise), chin ups, sprinting and back-flipping. Go me.
Of course, you can just say that its human nature to judge. When we look at an obese person on the street, we think FAT! Unless we'd trained ourselves to be overly compassionate, we wouldn't think, "Gee, I wonder if that person needs a hand in a personal fitness program, I have a friend that could help!" And then race over and give them your friend's card (who happens to be a world class fitness trainer). No, who would think that?
NOBODY! Except maybe Jesus, because he just was. But that's besides the point.
We don't have to force ourselves to think something so good about each person we see on the street that a silver halo begins to illuminate above our heads, but if we can see all the exceptions, the minority, the talent, the things people never tell you but are secretly longing for you to figure out, we can be better people.
And maybe 'stereotype' will only be used in past tense one day.
Maybe.

We all have times where we say stuff we didn't really mean
I just have more of these times than the average person!

i think they call it freedom of speech
If I dwelled on the fact weirdness was a bad thing
I'd probably be dead by now.
