You’re Nobody, Until Proven Otherwise

This isn’t an “innocent until proven guilty” situation

You are a nobody.

When you read that, how do you feel?

Do you feel upset?
Insulted?
Degraded?

Because if you do, I can promise you that that’s not my intention.

In fact, this is something I told myself, not too long ago.

Not to hurt my own feelings.
Not to insult myself.
Not to disrespect or degrade myself.

But rather, to give myself a wake-up call.

And to light a fire inside me, one unlike any I’ve ever had.

On October 3rd, 2019, my roommate, Kevin*, and I, decided to go to the local bubble tea café to enjoy some, well, bubble tea.

After we both grabbed drinks, made by an attractive “boba-barista,” Kevin began to work on his schoolwork while I decided to kick back, relax, and watch some movies on my tablet.
