The Person I Became

Victor TanPost a Comment

You know, when I think back about the person that I was a long time ago, I wonder how I managed to become the person that I am today, and I don’t see that as an exaggeration.

I used to be the kind of person who would dream of becoming an investment banker – that’s the kind of person that I was; I would imagine how it would look like when I ended up working for 12, 13, 14, 15 hours a day, thinking to myself that that was the ideal.

But no, that wasn’t how things turned out.

I changed.

I became someone who wanted to make things happen for himself, to create something from the fabric of essentially nothing.

Why that is? Maybe it was a combination of different things – a combination of watching narcissism and the incessant desire to compare disappear, a sense of entitlement that placed me beyond others fading away, and a few other things that were tied to my identity and who I was in the past.

I’m very happy with the person I’ve become 🙂

Life’s Fleeting Nature

In this life I’ve spent on earth, it’s begun to occur to me that nature’s love language may be irony. Were it not so, it would seem strange that I should have written about life just the other day… Only to have it very nearly taken away from me. I […]
