"There are people who, once they think they know you, choose to believe that you can only be defined by what they know about you. That's crap. We change everyday. We get ourselves soaked by sudden rain and we drown in our own tears. We learn something new with a turn of a page and with a secret shared. We continue to absorb bits and pieces of the personalities of the people we meet. To be given a label is to be confined in a perpetually closed box with no holes, no light, and no air. I refuse to be labeled as this or as that. I won't advocate the stifling of my growth. I am also not here for nothing." – Ma’am Dyqa Rogel
Who am I?” A very thought provoking question which is often left unanswered. Truth is, I myself don’t know who I really am. Yes, I know what I can and cannot do, I know what I like and don’t like, I know what to do and what not to do- but for me, these things aren’t enough to tell you who I really am. Ones characteristics and traits are not the only things to be considered in determining ones personality. Sadly, I can’t seem to pin point exactly what other factor there is to consider, I just know that there’s more to ones self than what meets the eye- The deeper understanding of who you really are and the in-depth realization of who you want to be.
In a nutshell, you could say that I have an identity crisis, a problem of not knowing who I am or who I’m supposed to be. But just look at it this way, If the world was to be of no constant shape, then that would be my world; If a year would have no definite season, then that would be my time; If life would have no constant meaning, then that would be my life. I am the kind of person who changes from day to day but still manages to keep that sense of ‘identity’ intact
In this world, many things trigger changes in our life, and this includes changing who we are. Maybe therein lies the problem; because of the constant change in ones self, you cannot fully determine who you are. True, I can tell you who I think I am, but that would not be “me”, that would just be the “me” that I think I am… haha… so simple yet so complicated.
My life at present is a ‘routinary’ life, taking into consideration my school, family, and other obligations. There’s just less and less time to spend for-and-on yourself. But just as I said, no one remains to be the same person everyday. We change in our own simple way, and every incident in your life contributes to that change. Don’t be afraid to readily face the changes and challenges that life has to bring. Life is the result of the decisions you make and the risks you take so make life more meaningful by choosing better and risking more.
