Whispers of Wonder

So, my dear friends, I'll let you in on a little secret... heh-heh, just kidding, it's not a secret at all! You've probably figured it out yourselves, reading my words or my sister's. Sometimes, life presents a moment, a miracle or something, where a person starts to race ahead of time. It turns out that inside a child's body, there's a grown-up mind, thinking in grown-up ways. I'm speaking from my own experience, of course.

It's probably rare, but I'm lucky. I know three other people like me among my relatives, including myself, naturally. Honestly, it's a super convenient position to be in. You can always hide your gifts, and then you're just a regular kid. How does it happen? I don't know. I mean, your intellectual development is just way ahead of your time, not by a year or two, but by decades! It just sort of happens on its own. Some things, you just know without ever reading them anywhere. And if you accidentally reveal something, the grown-ups just sit there, mouths wide open, like, "How do you know that?" That's when you have to play dumb so you don't get caught.

I once watched a movie about a girl, but no! Don't think I'm just like her! It's just that the theme came up in that movie, but in a really unusual, dramatic way, I'd say. But the hint of this theme was there. If you haven't seen it, check out the movie "Yulenka". It really explores the theme of genius and might wrap it up for you with some kind of conclusion.
