A new post in "Introverts Life-guidance" from the owner "The extrovert introvert":
[Do you guys remember the story I told you once?
At that time, I had just started the blog, so maybe you weren't with us.
So let me tell it again.
Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She wished everyone could see the world the way she saw it. Full of magic. Full of secrets. As magical and horrifying as it originally was.
I wish she had never wished that.
So be careful of what you wish.
Maybe the Amen pigeon hears your prayers and God tired of all your nagging just make it come true..
May the new year be a happier one. May you survive and may God be tired of the little girl's naggings again.

My mother always told me to live in reality. She told me that life is cruel and that not everyone gets what they want.
She said that not everyone is talented and that I should live rationally and according to my abilities.
I grew up having 6 siblings. A pack of three: Destiny and Damon, Divine and Diana, Diva and Dylan.
The two older siblings, always competing with each other, had lots of tutoring classes in math, biology, physics, and languages. From school to high school and from high school to university. Never ending classes.
The Divine pair, Divine and Diana, which also means divine, were divine in every aspect. Of course other than their personalities. When they were born the real states sky racked, which made them, grandfather's lucky charms whom he always looked after.
They are the families lucky or should I say divine ones.
Early on, Grandfather took over Divines education. Education to make him his heir. Divine did not disappoint him at all. He, similar to Destiny and Damon, had great academic talent. He got his degree in business management with top grades while also receiving our grandfather's tutoring and engaging in the business world!
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Grandfather paid all of Divine's educational expenses. However, he had to also engage in sports, and my parents, who would love to have an athletic child, would pay for that. An athletic child, who is also the most likely to get a lot of shares from Grandfather Bright. Now, when I say sports, I MEAN SPORTS. All sorts of them. From boxing to hiking.
Diana was talented musically, with a divine voice, and divine fingers in addition to a divine face. A born to be a musician.
So how could the family not invest in her? Teachers, expensive instruments, competitions, concerts sponsored by father, flies aboard and a private driver were always arranged for her.
I once heard father drunk talking about how he never got the chance to bloom his musical talents and I'm also grateful that he didn't. In that regard, he's on my level. Beneath average. So if he did we all had to go to grandfather's place begging for food.
Father wasn't the only one with a favorite child. The last born was Mother's favorite. The second to last, grandmother's.
The third twins are, 4 years apart from me and, 3 years apart from the divine pair, and 6 years apart from the genius ones.
Diva looking remarkably like grandmother, also inhered her talent for dance and pursued a dancing career. She entered an art school which I wasn't even allowed dreaming of.
Once I had mentioned my interest in pursuing dance. The response from my parents was, a waltz teacher arranged for all of us siblings. Then, out of nowhere, Diva begins attending all sorts of dance courses. The reason: Grandmother Bright had seen her dancing and saw real talent in her.
I may seem jealous or even evil but, in my eyes, she did not seem anything out of the ordinary.
At least, not in those lessons we had attended all together.
On the contrary, I had mastered the waltz. To be specific, everyone had mastered the waltz.
Well, It's better than nothing. My parent could have completely ignored my request.
But they didn't. The reason could be the prestige brought or perhaps they just felt guilty.
Actually, before that, I was attending piano lessons. It was one thing I felt proud of and was good at.
Anyway, when Diana asked my parents to try and show more talent than me I had to stop.
Our family couldn't afford nurturing two musicians was what I interpreted from my parent's whispers and worried looks. At the time, my father's business had encountered difficulties and even though they didn't show it, I still felt uneasy and burdened. Resulting in my decision to let go of professional persuasion of piano.
Last but not least Mommy's baby boy, Dylan. He was crazy about cars and speed. Spending crazy amounts on cars and racing courses and whenever someone complained about his spending hobbies, mom would stop them. Not that anyone complained besides me.
She wanted him to play around and be a child. A mindset that she didn't have while raising her other children. Anyhow to everyone's shock, the spoiled brat became a popular actor. He even entered a good art university. Someone who did nothing but play around got accepted into university. Money does wonders.
How did I live you ask?
As my mother asked me, I lived according to my abilities. I got accepted into a mediocre university for teacher training.
No tutoring for the mediocre me.
After all, not everyone gets the same opportunities. So after getting accepted, my parents told me off.
They said they couldn't afford to send four children to university, at the same time. They would rather pay Divines side education, basketball. Damn, Divine.
As the one raised to always have consciousness, I understood I shouldn't ask them to pay for my education instead of the blessed Divines. But my understanding and not getting angry weren't the same.
