When I was a kid...

I found this on postsecret.blogspot.com:


I found it interesting because I thought a little bit differently. When I was a kid i thought i was the only robot and everyone else was real.

I used to imagine gears turning as my elbows and knees moved. The reason why i bled and had skin was because it was all synthetic and only slightly organic. I guess that doesn't make me a full-fledged robot rather a cyborg. Must've grown up watching too much with terminator, eh?

In my imagination, being a robot was the quickest way to have my own questions answered. Why didn't i need to eat a lot? Why did the only dance move i knew involve bent elbows and twisting hips? Why did i not break bones or drown? Why didn't i have that many friends? Why did i not believe in God?

Things have changed. I eat too much. I know more dance moves including the step touch. I know for sure that I am not invincible. I have friends. I believe in a powerful being that created life.

Sometimes I still think that life is just simulated and the pain I feel is created by some sensory detector and malfunctioning equipment. I may or may not be a robot, but if I am, gosh-darn. I'm evolved enough to be as close to an average human being as possible!
