I have always been seen as a giant, both in size and stature. People tend to shy away from me, thinking I am intimidating or dangerous. But the truth is far from that - I am just a gentle soul who wishes for nothing but peace and understanding.
Growing up, my mother instilled in me the importance of controlling my emotions. She knows all too well what happens when giants like us get too excited or upset - disaster follows. And so, I have learned to suppress any extreme feelings, keeping myself calm and composed at all times.
But this has led others to believe that I am boring or uninteresting. The kids at school often make fun of me for being dull and unadventurous. It hurts knowing that they see me this way when deep down inside, I long for excitement and thrill just like anyone else.
In an attempt to prove them wrong, I tried showing off some of the "exciting" things I do in my free time. To my dismay, they only found amusement in how mundane my activities were - reading comics with no action scenes, taking naps during the day, playing with my pet hamster who turned out to be deceased without my knowledge.
It's frustrating feeling misunderstood by those around me. Despite their misconceptions about who I am as a person, deep down inside lies a desire for connection and acceptance. I may not express it outwardly due to fear of causing chaos inadvertently through sheer emotionality, but underneath this exterior lies a heart full of longing for companionship and understanding.
Perhaps one day people will see past the surface level judgments and truly get to know Hector Jötunheim - the gentle giant with much more beneath his seemingly stoic facade than meets the eye."
