My Bio

“Kindness is my weakness, but also my strength. So I must use it carefully on my path,” These are words that I follow. However, they aren’t quoted from any one famous person, but my own.


I was born in a quiet town in Australia and never attended pre-school, so I didn't have that many friends. I started primary school with one friend, but through kindness I was able to befriend most of my classmates. I was a shy kid, but through time, I became accustomed to classes. Fell in love with art and all my other subjects. Studied hard. Struggled with literacy and its word-heavy work. Specialised in the practical arts.


In a highschool built quite modern for its time and fitted with the latest tech, I felt like I had entered a new world. I happily attended and worked hard. However, along the way, I realised that my kindness made me a pushover: I did others’ work, and it ended up with me falling behind on my own projects. I worked hard to live up to expectations, agreed to participate in many extra-curriculars. I shouldn’t have. Because, in the end, I could not keep up with the workload; there was too much on my plate.


I came to despise classes and loathe my peers, especially those who I had helped.


Because I gave myself such a heavy ball and chain, I could not catch up with my own year group. I came to deplore art class, because it wasn’t simply about creating art anymore– I needed to study, remember, over-prepare with the knowledge of 2000+ years of art from dozens and dozens of cultures just to pass exams. It was unrealistic. I couldn’t remember. I had no more time to study for such a research-heavy class, because I was trying to catch up with all of my other subjects, with all of my extra-curricular activities. I couldn’t sleep, because if I slept then that would be time spent being unproductive. I was miserable and an absolute slave to expectation. I couldn’t even give myself time to post on here.


In kindergarten, I aspired to be many things. A rock star, an opera singer, an artist, an archaeologist, architect, detective. In highschool, I still aspired to be a detective, I loved the idea of solving mysteries. And if not a detective, then perhaps a self-publishing author. A librarian, maybe. An artist? A janitor? But I threw it by allowing the adults in my life to pressure me; I was too kind.


After all, it’s easier to manipulate a malleable material into something you desire.


I dropped out of highschool at the start of my final year. I stopped using social media. I needed to escape the pressure. I saw a therapist for a while. And attending a technical college, I made a new life. No-one knew who I was, no-one had expectations of me. I would not be pressured to overachieve. And there was only one subject that I could allocate all my time to: Graphic Design. A subject that balanced aesthetics with function– any and all solutions were logically pleasing. I had a drive for the first time in a long while, and actually worked on my art after so long of not doing anything! I made friends with people who had similar interests to mine, and together, we collected our advanced diplomas in 2019. Life is going on swimmingly.


I’m still kind, though I’ve learnt to choose my battles. I’ve become calculative and use my kindness to my own advantage. It’s quite selfish of me, but I had been selfless for so long. I think I’ve become indignant at the world. Maybe I’m no longer kind, and I just don’t know it yet. I like to think I’m kind, though there’s a part of me that is still bitter that I could never follow my childhood dreams. But I’ll take what I can get.


In a now not-so-quiet town in Australia, I am now in my twenties. I remain in the home I grew up in. However, much has changed. The sound of the nearby highway is now quite noticeable. The sound of birds has decreased. I hope any further changes are for the better.


Haha, I probably could have done with a shorter bio. But my bio has always been long. As a kid, I honestly though I had to write an actual biography, hence the length. Was the read interesting? ;P
