Identity Theft Uncalled For by Lorra Elena Angbue-Te

I’ve never had to assert my identity before. I never thought someone would steal my identity in the first place because I’m not a famous person. Who is Lorra Elena Angbue-Te? I am not a celebrity, I am not a prominent public figure, I have no plans of running for public office, and as much as I joke about wanting to become an actress, I have no real plans of pushing through with that.

In this day and age, it’s very easy for people to act callously out of anger, malice and mischief. Especially when they have nothing to lose and can hide behind anonymity.

Up to now, I still don’t know what I did to merit this kind of reaction. If it was the review that I posted then this reaction is beyond disproportionate. I wrote honestly and not out of spite. I wrote based on my observation of the exhibit projects’ aesthetic value and communication efficacy.

If this poser is directly affected, aren’t there better ways of dealing with criticism? One can improve on points that were negatively criticized. One can brush comments aside, stand by what you chose to do. There is no need to commit a crime or hurt other people.

If this poser is someone who’s completely not connected with the project and the criticism I gave, then I am at a loss as to why I’m being targeted. I don’t think I have done anything to hurt other people. I may be spirited and unlikely to back down from a fight but I don’t think I’ve ever actively started one nor have I done something with the sole or main intent of being malicious.

It’s a little sad, I have to admit but I am also seeing the good in this. I have been reminded that I have friends who care about me, that I must have done something right in my life to deserve these people and their love, that I have a clean conscience.

And most importantly, I have realized that I am better than this situation.
