When I Realised Who I Really Am

By Sachin Shah

I can’t remember anything about my childhood but there are certainly some things that are weird about me. One is that I don’t ever hurt my self when I fall over and I never bleed if I have a cut, but other than them I haven’t noticed anything unusual or bizarre happening in my life.
