I never considered myself to be special. If anything, I considered myself to be awkward, and still do sometimes.
I've never really considered myself a wrestler. I always considered myself an entertainer, but I always wanted to be better than the guy next to me.
I'm an economist by training. I don't really work as an economist. I only worked briefly as an economist.
I never considered myself a trainer, I considered myself a teacher.
I've always considered myself the best and the top. I never considered that I was out of it.

I never considered myself less worthy than a man in football. Never. Never, never, never.
I've never considered myself a rapper. I know how to do it. I know how to make my voice project, and I know how to stay on beat and what have you, but I've never considered myself a rapper.
I've never really considered myself just a street artist. I consider myself a populist.

Alone in my room, wrapped in a blanket, I whimpered and talked aloud to myself, recalling the lost glory of my youth when I considered myself, and was considered by others, a bright and capable person. It seemed that was all gone now.
