We are we afraid of being ourselves. We follow trends and find comfort in conforming to the craziest concepts of individuals that we will never meet. We feel the need to “fit in” and behave like those around us. We are scared that if we stand up for who we believe in and express our own personal taste that society will look down and even worse shun us. We are afraid of the wrong things.
I believe that we born for a purpose; one that only we know, subconsciously. But, it can only be discovered through being true to who you are. Many of us follow a belief system that is often a way of life, however that should not be an obstacle in becoming who you truly are, as both can be accommodated. I believe our existence here is that of a deep one. Each one of us feels a pain or rather passion toward something; and it is that exact passion that drives you to explore you.
For myself, I do not know my ultimate purpose on this Earth is yet, but I know that I am getting closer. I know that I am not afraid to stand up and be different, from what I wear to what I say. I also know that my random passions are somehow linked to who I truly am and is a key to why I am here. For example, speaking for those women who cannot speak for themselves; I see myself helping them in ways that I am not yet aware of.
Be not afraid of the “wrong things”, as society might have it. Yet “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those that matter don’t mind and those that mind don’t matter!” ~ Dr Seuss.
The way the world is now, people are celebrating individualistic persons. And Ra'isa, you know I am proud of your courage, but I'm sure that you know it too! You did something nobody would dare to do. A lot of people can learn from you.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to be your own person and to be conscious about who you are and who you want to be. You are definitely unique!
