Becoming an Introvert is Tough Work. No Kidding

All my life, I've wanted to be the invisible guy, but my actions and conduct have kept me in the limelight. "Keep a low profile" has been the longest standing resident of my vision boards. Just kidding. The only time of the year I make vision boards is a month before my annual exams. They're mainly doodles, writ with the very things I don't do, or ever plan on doing. They're useless. Could a means of procrastination be anything else?

I guess I'm never entirely honest with my work, my thoughts or my goals. In short, I'm not honest with myself. Honesty may be the best policy, but it is such a lacklustre task.
So like every year, I started this one with a hoodie pulled down low over my face (so as to avoid recognition) and a gait that got me out of crowds and the possibility of interaction. I'd avoid eye-contact 'cause, like Slim Shady puts it, "... If I do that, then it opens a door for conversation/ and like I want that...". And just like every year, despite the Aegis de minimis, I was as ubiquitous as ever, perhaps even more than before.

I can't pull off anonymity. I guess I don't have what it takes to be a social recluse. :j
