WHO ARE YOU?

How do we ever really know what type of people we are
Can anybody ever really reach their own core
People can be thought of as pieces of paper
Life cuts, colors, splashes, fills, and crumples
But what if life actually just writes in pencil
What if everything you think you are could be erased or drawn over at any moment
What if the ink lines by which we “live” our lives and “know” ourselves are simply evanescent graphite
What do you think...?
In a stoic spirit, maybe it's the point of life to get smudged and blurred. If you ever really feel like you know who you are, you're problably trying too hard and missing little moments that would actually teach you more about yourself. Just let things go sometimes and stop trying to force an epiphony. Gotta calm it down.
It’s easy to get caught in the way you think others perceive you. Instead of focusing on you, which, obviously, is what really matters, you lose sight of yourself. That’s when I think the lines of “evanescence graphite” can be smudged or blurred.
Well from the perspective of somebody religious, I feel like we each have a path. Every time you feel as if you are saying something you don’t agree with or you feel in a slight way like a fraud, one way to interpret this is to realize that you do actually know what you believe in. If you know what you DON’T believe in, you can figure out what you DO believe in.
I honestly wonder this a lot. I’ll find myself contradicting prior versions of myself constantly. I think a lot of it has to do with perspective. Everybody always says “look at it from the other person’s point of view.” Truer words have never been said. genuinely putting yourself in somebody else’s shoes really can show you how much you go against what you believe in every day. Or maybe it’s just me. Which would suck.
That's a REALLY hard question right now. With so much craziness going on in the country. One side is telling the other WHO you should be, HOW you should be. Making you pick sides. This whole idea of "picking sides" is more pervasive than ever. It didn't use to be that way, necessarily. Or maybe it did. It's just more in your face. Not good.
