Who Am I?

It’s amazing how a little candle can brighten up a very dark room. Its brightness makes me feel warmth. It helps me find comfort and safety when I’m in the dark. Even travelers use candle to see their way, it serves as their hope and direction so they'll not get lost.

Maybe one would think that I was so full of myself that I describe myself as being a candle. I too feel the same way, but I guess that would really best suit me and my personality as well.

I’m the eldest child in the family; I have two younger sisters both girls. I tried to be excellent; I did it just for them to see me as their elder, like how a candle can help the travelers. I as their big sister should  be the one demonstrating them how to handle things and stuff like this and that, so to speak I should not be hasty about my decisions so that they would not be mislead by me, because if I’ll do bad in any aspects in my life, it’s not just me who will suffer. As I begin to light a candle it reminds me of the time I told myself, “I’m old, I have to properly take responsibility in everything I do. When I was deep on my thoughts, I forgot that the strands of my hair was toasted already in the fire, it really did not turn out good, am I clumsy or the fire just get stronger? What a silly idea that was. That’s when I realize that whatever I do, in order to take on my responsibility, I have to face consequences in the future. After a few minutes, the candle started to melt, it’s like the candle is shedding a tear because of the flame. Another thought came to my mind, I came to my senses after all, I did survived until today, that means I’m a strong one, it’s like the candle, it melted then fell to the table and then it hardened again, just like me, I’ve encounter many depressing and heartbreaking situations, but not definitely with teens relationship, I should make it clear. I became a better person because of this, in terms of my temper and attitude. The candle may melt until it’s gone, but you will remember how it brightens the very dark room and give hope to everybody. I hope my life would be like that, I may not be forever young or a permanent residence in this world but the memories I had shared with everybody hopefully will always be remembered forever.

            The point why I chose candle is that it helps me realize what life would be for me. That’s why I’m an optimistic person, the light in the candle that brightens the room; I look like a tough one, maybe a bit but I was always fragile, just some big candle I often see in the church altar, so strong, but when you light it, it will eventually melt.  One thing about a melted candle is that it stays like a candle; it tried its best to be hard again even if it’s not in its perfect shape. Precious is always Precious.
