I always get really self-concious and awkward if someone comments on my looks
On the other hand I have been told by many people that I'm clever, but since most of them have been stupider than me (or perhaps I should say that they didn't spend as much time thinking as me
), I always thought that it was obvious that I should appear smart to them. The compliment I got from my friend means so much to me, because he is really, really smart, so his opinion matters more to me than the rest 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
