Identity (Ela Lasic)

Author: Ela Lasić, OŠ Nikole Hribara

Can you see the person sitting right here beside me? I suppose you can’t, because she is invisible. She is invisible because she has lost her true identity. You know she wasn`t always like this. Once she had a life, a family, a purpose. But one day everything changed.

It was just another normal day for her, until she experienced a new emotion. She felt lost, scared and confused because there wasn’t a purpose for her in this world. Not knowing what to do with herself, she fell asleep and dreamt about her past. In the dream were two blank human figures, and herself. She asked who were they, and they didn’t answer. She asked them again but more strict this time. They started approaching her slowly.

She asked them again and backed up a little.

They took their hoods down and one of them said: “We are here to tell you whatever you want to know about your past“.

She looked at them in surprise and didn`t answer. The other person took her hand and immediately teleported her into a classroom.

In the classroom she could see two kids, two of her childhood friends. They were talking about her like she didn`t exist until right know. She opened her eyes and found herself back in her bed. Opening her eyes, she tried to feel her face. Realizing she didn`t have a face she started screaming in terror. Another day has gone by and she started dreaming again. Everything happened like in the first dream but this time the person said: “We are here to tell you everything you want to know about your future. “ Just like in the first dream, she was teleported into a big conference room. She saw herself at the head of the table. Then one of the employees raised his hand and addressed her: “Madame President“…

On that note she was back in her bed.

That gave her the motivation she needed to continue. Step by step, she started to remember her purpose, her name and everything there is to know about herself.

Just remember not to lose yourself in the big world of expectations!
