Your Unheard Voices
1. The Chosen One
Something will always stay the same, that’s one of all the basic things we learned somehow growing up. Despite how society has evolved, people seem trapped in the realm of magical unicorns and bedtime stories when our mama used to tuck us to bed. Remember the past when the elders were preaching about how chances of success were measured by diligence, and that the hard work will always be paid off? People back then were even willing to risk everything for anything, from trading bodies for fame to igniting wars for power and suppressing voices that were meant to be heard. Disheartening as it was in the past, the world today also seems to share a familiar history from its shadowy past that keeps the poor in poverty and the rich wealthy. I have strived and struggled in this rat race that my society has designed for me, and perhaps one might think that it’s high time to claim my success, but truth be told, these struggles have yet remained by my side for two years.
