Personal Narrative: Why I Made Tyler

Decent Essays
I understand why I made Tyler. I know growing up was hard for me with my dad leaving and my parents getting divorced. I think Tyler was always there, he was just buried away. What sent me over the edge was my life. I hate my job and my life. I tried to buy things to make the pain go away but that didn’t work. I wanted to feel in control for once, I wanted to be the one that was free. Tyler was everything I wanted to be and more. He was this natural born leader, whereas I am the pawn forced to conform to our capitalistic society. Tyler dared to be different whereas I was afraid to. Tyler was somebody, and I am nobody. I realize now that I made this split personality as some sort of extreme defense mechanism to help me escape it all. I know

What if everyone was telling her not to because she was to be a single mom and that’s not a world a child should be born into, but then what if she challenged this belief that she grew up with.

    I am someone who smiles Someone always telling jokes to make sure no one thinks something is wrong So no one suspects a thing when they see my smile I am someone who fixes the feelings of those whose hearts are shattering like pieces of glass I am someone who loves to dress up and wear makeup so no one sees how truly I am From the bags from staying up at night to the red from crying, both under the concealer Tears behind my eyeshadow-covered eyelids Cracks underneath my red lipstick And the pain within the mouth that contains whitened teeth…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices.
