Identity

I was listening to a bunch of old songs that I used to love when I was going through adolescence. Needless to say, I felt old. Haha. But the most interesting thing about that whole experience was collecting this bits and pieces of what I deem as self-identity through the music I listened to. It was as if the songs punctuated certain periods of the existence of Akmal bin Syafiq. Surreal, indeed. I'm 25 and I'm still figuring out who I am really. Music was always my expression of choice. I wasn't really eloquent with words when I was young. Most of my teachers deemed me as being timid. The shaky inner self might have been well reflected in my voice and body language. Sports was never my forte. Since I speak almost 3 languages, the structures of my world view shifts between identities. And with each transition, sometimes I feel like a "third culture kid". You know the kid who relates to airports and regard them as home.
