Once a upon a time, somebody smart said 'only when you accept who you are, and who you aren't will you succeed'.
Not knowing who I am- can round up last few years of my life. Or it even can go back to the first conscience thought of mine or my first memory. Believe me, it's not long time ago. I must not lie, but admit that I actually have a slight idea who I am. However, I still do not know who I am not. That scares me. What am I capable of doing?! Kinda falls in both categories, who I am and who I am not.
I know what I am made of, anatomically, carbon and water, sure. Yet, the learning curve and the experience what you will make out of the two, make something you can be tolerant to live with. Or a higher expectation, therefore increased possibility of disappointment, to be happy with. It is about creation. Mommy and Daddy did they part, it is on you to do something something with it. And here emerges the inquiry of average. Never settle. Even on the bus, do not sit on a first available sit, thats settling for the average, find the best sit, the most comfortable, with the nicest view or near a good looking person.
Through out life we find bits and pieces of ourselves, coming down nicely, like a puzzle. Knowledge and wisdom and random teeth that hurt like hell. Wisdom come from sponging the surrounding and knowledge from experience.
But who are you not? Do you want to find out at all (the good, the bad, the ugly)? Would that make a whole or just make you constantly rearrange your prejudice while thinking? From the historical point of view, it is horrifying to learn what a human being is capable of doing to one another, to one self. Tongue is the organ we should fear the most. That is why no other animal is in any way on the top of the food chain. And, that is what we are not.
Walking contradiction, is who I am. And who I am not, I am not the goddess from the picture.
Would have been nice to ask before using one of my pictures

I have somewhere saying that I do not take any credit for the photos I use unless otherwise stated. And I believe I have found it on Google search, long time ago. Yet, this is one of my favourite photographs and I have just gone through your portfolio. Would you allow me to use your photographs in future, credited on your name with the link to your website?
ReplyDeleteIf not, I am glad to have had an opportunity to tell you how absolutely I admire your work.
