Being my elder sister's 'shadow and echo', I literally
copied whatever she did and almost everything she said in my presence. So when
she started schooling at the age of 5, I did too, attending the same classes
with her as 'saling pusa' as elders call it that time. I was only 3 years old
then.
There's this retro story my mom would always tell. She said
from out of the blue, I told my teacher, "Ma’am, my name is Wendy and I
live with the elves in mushroom houses". Funny how 'big' people reacted on
it, that my teacher even worriedly told my mom the possibility that me having
imaginary friends.
No. It's a world I created where I won't be requiring my
'ate' (sister) to look up to and get my personality from. It's a world where I am me.
In my 39 years of existence in this pseudo world or ours,
there is only one thing I didn't outgrow. Those years of 'pain and gain' that never
stopped me from believing. I do believe in fairies... I do... I do.
