There Is Never Nothing.

Throughout everything… you learn something. From music, to movies, to seeing things anywhere.
There is never nothing happening in a location.
Whether you apply that little something to your life is the choice that you choose to make.
And that decision can make up who you are.

I guess we were meant for something more than we could ever think of.
I guess we were meant to take risks and try to do something that your heart and minds tell you.
So Carpe Diem. Let’s go and seize the day.

Incognito

We’re so tied down by what we always think of.
Afraid to do anything new.
Isolating ourselves from everything else.
It’s just that some people do it more than others.
Nobody should face isolation, but it just comes.
But who is there to blame but yourself on that?
It’s just because your not open enough to see…
That there is something that is always happening.

Who am I? That is a question I ask to myself also. I constantly put these changing masks on to everyone. A different one to my teachers, then another to my friends, some to other people and the list just continues on and on. But who am I truly? I’m just but another person out to grab the world. I am sometimes perceived as a strange person who keeps to himself a lot. However, just continue reading. I am this blog you are reading right now. I am my ideas, and my ideas are me.

Many people do not know me. They know maybe the show that I put on for them, but they do not know the true me. I constantly put on a mask to hide my true self and put on a mask for others to like me. To my friends, I am a punk rocker who loves music twenty four seven and a Korean that is amazing in computers and can kick their ass. To my family I am the oldest so I act the most respectful and I am courteous to all my elders and act all “goodie-two-shoes” to them.

Why do I constantly put up these masks that people often classify me with? I actually have no idea myself. Sometimes it seems that I don’t even know who I am anymore. I get so lost because I put on such different masks for everyone that I often get confused and conflict myself on who I really am. However, I am not really any of these things if I said that these ideas are the true me.

The true me is someone that I have not found yet. It is still a work in progress, but I still try and yearn to find this true person inside of me. Sometimes it feels as if I have found him, but when it feels as if I do find it I usually revert back to the punk rocker. Maybe the true me is the real punk rocker, however I do not feel like that is the true me because I have many chains and boundaries that holds me down.

The true me wouldn’t have those chains and boundaries or those miniscule fears that I have. In those masks I have the fears of rejection, grades, superiority, being a leader, and even the fear of first impressions. These stupid fears that are put in my masks cannot hold me any longer if I find the true me. I believe I will find my true essence by losing these fears. One day showing myself to the world.
Without fears of who I really am inside. My true essence, my true calling.
