The Lingering Question



Identity crisis has always been an issue of young adults. This is being struggled by Juanito in the film "TATARIN". He could not consider himself as a man at that moment but he must and he should because he is no longer a child. This is a conflict of man vs. himself. What an inevitable phenomena of human existence.

I am now in my 17th year of existence in this wide complicated world yet the question still lingers on my mind. Who really am I? Am I ready to face the challenges brought by this new phase of human life? Yes, I know the answer, but the contradicting reality could not escape from this issue. My brain tells me I should but my physical being keeps on whispering I’m not. I have my friends giving me pieces of advice that I must not deceive myself. I just have to wear the simplest me that I can ever be. What’s wrong being such a lady trapped in a cute girl’s body? Nothing right?


People around me must have to deal with it accordingly. Nothing more, nothing less but this is the real me. The struggle for self-identity remains an issue. But it really depends upon how an individual handle it. There is no need to rush things out, people wait for the right time to be in full bloom of one’s entire personality.
