This isn’t my first blog post. This is something more. This is my first ode to ownership and accountability. I started a blog before, but with my friend. And that blog was great! It was creative and thought provoking. But what others don’t know was that it was also hid within those words were fear. A fear to fully express myself and claim my words. What my viewers read were stories that lacked conviction. A partial truth. Not the Authentic truth.
Authenticity is transparent and it’s unapologetic. It’s a level of freedom that most yearn to conceive but are too enslaved by their egos, or worst, the ego of Society.
And I don’t want to be one of those people, trapped by what others may think or feel.
If life has taught me one thing, it is to speak.
Speak up.
The moment that you become scared to speak is the moment that you begin to lose yourself. And before you know it, a large part of you is gone. You forget who you are. You forget how you truly feel. You don’t know if your thoughts or your actions are your own. You become a hollow man (Great Gatsby’s reference we used in my AP English Class back in high school). A sheep. And depending on how far you let yourself go, it can become almost life-shattering as you try to find yourself again.
I know this because I was one of those people before. Hollow. Lifeless. And it’s something that I never want to be again.
And this blog is the start of my new, new beginning. Of joy, life, and beauty. I get the chance to share my perspective of this world that we live in. And it’s not something for you to judge and this blog is not for everyone. As a matter of fact, it's not for anyone at all. But if you would like a chance to look inside my mind, then feel free to do so. My only hope is that I can provide a different perspective that can help you formulate your own perspective. On life itself. My only intent is to allow people to embrace (or challenge, if necessary) their own perspective of this life that we are all trying to so desperately navigate.
So, if getting lost in my mind a little bit helps you get through your day a little easier, then, welcome.
