I reckon that everybody might feel that way- frustrating and wishing that others would at least try to understand them a lil bit- maybe tipping toe into their shoes just for a few minutes. We are humans, aren't we. We long to be understood and loved for who we are. We are aimlessly trying so hard to fight against the society's standards as we subconsciously following their laws, by doing exactly what they want us to. Wearing their fashions, saying what they want us to, being entertained by their mass media, purchasing their worthless but expensive products, and as we do this, we are losing our identity.
But.. the question is.. what is identity, exactly?
is it even necessary?
yes, i believe so. it gives every one the feeling of assurance that we are living. we have a meaning in our life. without any identity, for example i as an artist, as a woman, as a deaf person, as a daughter, as a friend, as a student, as an employee and as Bethany. It somehow gives me the sense of purpose to wake up in the morning to. It is already hard enough to wake up, to get out of the warm comfortable bed of mine. I have a duty to feed my brain (cheesey i know), i have to meet some of residents' need of feeling safe in the building as a RA, i want to be there for my friends whom have been there for me in the past, I want to get up and get ready for the day to show the world that Bethany Lynn Gehman does exist. I don't shout to the world, running around to get the attentions, but, I want them to know that i am here. I do matter.
In all, i believe that everybody do have that desire to be acknowledged by others. That is why we get up in the morning and face the world every single day.
the sunshine in the morning are gorgeous, but it is nothing without humans noticing it and appreciate the pure beauty of it in the morning.
