I am walking besides giants

Giant, is a word commonly used to describe someone very big. Today, it is a synonym for a person who has achieved something big.

The so-called "geniuses", " truly hard workers" or simply the ones who got lucky.

Everyone has their picture of those powerful persons.

I, always imagined those rich kids who speak 4 languages, play many instruments, never had a red note, and so on.

As any other kid, I aspired to become like that, I gave my best and achieved most of those.

But when you come to a "first world country" the picture change completely.

At once, to know 4 languages, to play an instrument, to be able to swim, ride a car... are just the minimum necessary!

Yes, necessary as in obligatory.

All those kids have parents who can send them to University and support them in whatever they want.

All those kids have visited entire Europe at some point in their lives.

And they don't have an idea of how lucky they are.

It is all just "normal".

Suddenly, I found myself in the land of Giants.

The first thing I thought was, " Wow! Cool!".

The second was, " Can I do that too?".

And the third was the answer.

No, I can't.

I soon understood that no matter how hard you try, you can't be at the same level as someone who was born with those privileges.

To beat them in their own game?

A childish dream.

It is pointless to be angry, you should not blame someone for being born the way they are.

Furthermore, I do not need to.

Everyone I know always says to me how much I have already achieved.

They remember me to not only keep going forward, but also to stop and appreciate everything I have.

Of course, one stays with a bitter taste in their mouth when they realize they can never be like "Them".

There is that feeling of wanting to protest out loud about how unjust it all is.

But, it is to no avail.

It won't change what they are and what you are.

It won't change the fact that if you truly wish to become a part of the giant land, the only thing you have to do is to sacrifice something.

However, if you aren't prepared to give up your, health, relationships, or spare time, then you can forget that place exists.

That is something I learned once coming here.

" If you were not born with something, you will have to pay to have it"

Welcome to the land of Giants.

The land where everything is possible.
