Day #4: Write something that someone told you about yourself that you never forgot (30 Day Writing Challenge)

There are plenty of things that people told me about myself that stay in my mind forever and some of them get triggered randomly. I'll only discuss two of them aha ^^;

Firstly, my brother always make a comment about my 'artist of the month', meaning the celebrity who I'm obsessed with for that time. The thing about me is that I have too many celebrity crushes and I get them easily too. When I have a person to obsess over, whether the person is fictional or real, I'll devote an insane amount of time researching about that person and social media websites like tumblr, twitter, instagram and facebook help with the obsession. If the person is hugely popular, it's going to be a breeze and relaxing. But usually that's not the case for me. Usually, the person who I have a crush of tend to be one who does not have that much of a huge following. And I like it that way. It's uncommon for me to obsess over the most popular group member, for example. So I get happy when I become a fan of a person because I can occupy my time with watching videos of them or reblogging Tumblr posts of them. Sometimes, reading fanfictions about them and writing about them too. It's just sometimes I get self-conscious to show my celebrity crush because I know my brother is going to tease me about it. I'm never completely committed to a single person haha. That's why I admire people who are devoted fans of some celebrities for years. I just think it's amazing.

Another comment that someone made about me that I could instantly recall when I read the prompt is what my teacher said about me. I'm not sure if this happens to all schools but in my secondary school, at the end of the year, we have to file in all our assignments, test and examination papers neatly with a filled content page and hand in. I pride myself as a conscientious student who writes down the dates of all the assignments done and I am particular about the organisation whenever I file something. So I did just that and handed in my Maths file. And when I placed it on the teacher's desk, my teacher smiled at me and told me that she was pleasant surprised that I was neat person after seeing how neatly stacked my file was, I guess. I was definitely shocked when I heard that but I hid that well and simply thanked her. To think that there were people who actually thought that I was a messy and disorganized person! I guess it just means that I don't display my inner self well to others.
