Where is the real Me?

 Today, I want to start with a little secret. Come on, come closer to the screen. As soon as a secret is told, two people connect, Right? So here's a tiny one of mine. I used to believe that I could switch between "ME's" . (Unbelievable, much?) During the "GREAT MOVE" , I was like a zombie. (Read more about it in my previous posts- Post 1  , Post 2   ). Sometimes, I felt as if I am invisible, and honestly, no one really paid attention to me. For the class I was the "Shy New Kid who is totally Nerdy". Yeah, I know. Not a great reputation there.
