Hey there, diary! It's me, Kita Ikuyo. Today was quite an eventful day filled with ups and downs. I found myself in a few awkward moments that made me realize something important - it's okay to embrace my quirks.
I've always been the outgoing and social girl who loves interacting with others. But there's one thing that makes me feel a little uneasy - being called by my first name, "Ikuyo." It may seem like a small thing to some people, but for me, it brings out this awkwardness that I can't seem to shake off.
Today at school, during roll call, the teacher called out my name as usual - "Kita Ikuyo." And just like every time before that moment came when everyone turned their heads towards me waiting for my response. That split second felt like eternity as I stumbled over my words trying to compose myself.
As much as I love meeting new people and making friends, those moments of being singled out make me squirm inside. It's not about shyness or lack of confidence; rather it's more about feeling exposed in a way that doesn't sit well with me.
But you know what? Today made me realize something important: these quirks are part of what makes me unique. Sure, they might lead to some awkward situations now and then but isn't life all about embracing our imperfections?
Instead of dwelling on those uncomfortable moments where I feel like hiding under a rock (or maybe behind one), why not own up to them? After all, they're just another piece of the puzzle that is Kita Ikuyo.
So from now on when someone calls out "Ikuyo," instead of cringing internally or correcting them right away (which let’s be honest can come off as rude sometimes), how about flashing them a smile instead? Maybe even throw in an easygoing laugh because hey – we’re all human here!
It’s time for this extroverted girl who loves socializing with others no matter how many times she gets tripped up by her own name calling herself “Ikuyo” without hesitation or embarrassment because guess what? That’s just another partof what makes her...me!
