Something I've learned about in this novel, is that, people are different. Deep inside, theres that uncertainty of who they think they are and who they think they want to be. People have doubts and people have wants. Lets say Dr. Jekyll; rich, noble and a smart man living "the good life". When deep inside, Dr. Jekyll thirst for insanity. All he wants is to become the exact opposite of what people label him as. Even though it's just a story book but I like going deep. Does Dr. Jekyll felt overwhelmed with everything? Did he lose control out of pure-pressure? Did all he want was to be heard for who he really is? So many lessons that I've learned in this book. How people do not appear who you think they are. For instances, take me for an example, I am a 15 year old girl with black hair, zits here and there and kind-of a loner, as soon as people see me or know who I am, I get labelled the next second. And I used to have that fear of being labelled, of being that "girl" that no one likes. Ive always wanted to do something really crazy, like, take drugs or fucking murder someone, but... I've got these chains around me, I feel trapped, locked in a cage - made out of that fear of being labelled. Sometimes I just wish I could just bloody be Dr. Jekyll. Transform myself into another being and do what the hell I want and fear not to be judged. It's just funny how I tell myself that I don't care but honestly, I just do. Should I learn to get over it, get over being judged? Well sure, infact I'm trying. Should I change? Hell no.
One thing I can never get over though is how so many weak unworthy human beings can effortlessly pretend to become God. You have no rights to judge me but yet you still do. As if you don't have rotting skeletons in your closet too. Trust me, what comes around, goes around. And one day, you'll get what you deserve.
You are not God. Can't you guys understand that simple statement?
