Sometimes I think that our life doesn’t exactly revolve around ourselves or others, it just is. If we were to think of something, it may be completely different from someone else. However, at the end of the day, our perception of things is what our reality consists of; because even if someone else sees things differently, it is up to us to know that they see things differently.
This past week I have come to realize many things, about myself, my life, and the people and things that surround me. I can’t say for sure if these realizations are true, but they make sense in more ways than one and have shocked me more to feel like they are closer to the truth than anything else that I have realized or used to justify certain situations. I feel like we have this inner conflict where we question if we should be selfish or if we should be more empathetic towards other people, but what if we can be both? Why does there have to be a conflict? Why does either have to exist? What if how we truly are is labelled a certain way simply because of how someone else sees us and you now believe that you have to put a label on yourself? What if we like to label things is so that we feel part of something (however big or small)? How can we come to realize that we are nothing but ourselves and cannot exactly label ourselves as something simply because someone else has decided to describe themselves in that way and we feel the need to relate to them? What if we decide to describe in certain ways, or say that we relate to certain things, so we can create a sort of attachment to someone or something? Because even if we all are similar in every single aspect of our beings, because we all have the same traits, just at different levels, we still want to separate ourselves from others. What if we detach ourselves from others or do not want to be close to them because we see something of theirs that we have yet to accept about ourselves? Have you ever thought of how some of your relationships change? Maybe if you start to see how some of your relationships change, you can see who you are. Because there is a saying in Spanish that goes like this: dime con quien andas y te dire quien eres (tell me who you surround yourself with and I will tell you who you are). This makes so much sense to me now that I think about it. Because we are a reflection of whoever we surround ourselves with, but we are also a reflection of who we don’t want to be around.
Okay, I will stop asking questions now because if not I won’t finish this article ever. I don’t think this is an article per se, but just a long paragraph questioning who you are. I think I am at a point where my curiosity is sparking and is just wondering if who we are now is truly us. And even if it is, maybe who we truly are can change over time. Or maybe it never really changes, but we just become more in tune with it. Maybe what we are is energy, because we don’t stop being who we are, we just transform into whatever is happening right now. So what if who we are truly is who we are now and whoever it is that we want to be can start now?
