Maybe I read too much Fairytales that I forgot,
I am not the main character.
Things didn't turn to my favor so that I could have everything I wanted.
There is no knight in shining armor, a handsome male lead who fulfills the role of a protector, a lover, and the empty role my Father was supposed to fill.
I don't have any sidekicks or a great ability to see the future, so whenever the 'villains' do me wrong, I cannot protect myself.Â
Yet, when I stood up to protect myself, I would fail miserably and fall down, no one stood up for me.
Because again, I am not the main character.
I may only be a side character who exists solely to be the main character's friend, or even, a mere cameo whose only purpose is to wander around in the street --- like other hundreds of cameos --- so that the street looks lively enough for the main character to walk through.
However, I am hurt.
even if I am only a side character or a cameo, won't a happy ending come to me too?
Doesn't the main character need me too, so that the story could go on?
Oh, that's right.
I am not so important in this story.

However, if this article ends here, I would only get a pitying look or be called 'ungrateful', am I not?
I'm just kidding.
I believe the author of this world is just.
So, He'll take care of it all.
Even a mere cameo like me, or things as simple as when will the wind blows, so that the flower petals would fall on the female and male leads romance scene, I believe He had it all planned in his book.
So I believe, He'll take care of me too, along withÂ
other cameos or side characters who feel this way.
I do not need to be envious of the main character.
I just need to patiently wait, until I feel like I don't care whether I'm an unimportant cameo in someone's story. after all, I, too, have a right to live to pretend like I'm the main character of my own story.
