What I found out today. o117


Today I am finding out yet again new things about balancing on your identity and wondering wondering if you ever can stay with something as unmeasurable and complex as your own identity and self understanding.

It was said once by Chuck Palahniuk: "If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?"



Most of the time we are taught to deny who we are, taught to fit in and become someone else or idea of someone else. I think I was always struggling with that because the longer you do that, the more complicated it is to remember who you actually are and to allow yourself to be.
And yet, even when you have the space and the guts to be who you are, how do you define everything?! How do you got with all the little details, all the aspects and shadows forming something that in the end shines are you?!...
I am still struggling, I must admit. I don't expect to find all the answers. Soon or ever actually. It's like opening a can of worms -- interesting, scary, challenging, rewarding and still the end confusing. In the end, it's also a process. Identity is in its making. It's walking your path and being aware.

And then again -- its also never forgetting to breathe and how to have fun with your life. No matter what kind of background forms you or what kind of environment surrounds you -- it's all up to you how you deal with it and how many smiles, hugs, ideas, words, dreams you make and share!

There are many things in life that you must learn over and over again. Like walking. And somehow in those moments you don't really care you've done it before, it comes to you again and it feels as exciting as it was before. Or even more! Even Hemingway said, " All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time. " There is always more than meets the eye. There is always more than we dare to admit. And it's amazing. Amazing to challenge your own limitation and your own walls (either way if they are walls in or walls out). Amazing things happen to you when you let them happen. When you walk right into the room full of unknown people and don't feel fear. I am learning to accept chaos. (Although I am not entirely sure whether it accepts me.) I have learned lately that any kind of fear might be just worthy to walk straight into. It's like playing a computer game only not being as reckless! Although I dont think that death is th...

When you decide to do something brilliant, profound and simply amazing and everything is going smoothly, what is that moment when you start wondering -- where is the catch?!. There must be something. Where is the dude you call Murphy with his laws?!.... Or maybe, just maybe, things can go smooth...?!.

There was a time in my life where I learned a very important lesson. There was a time I learned that by loosing everything I had so much more left. So much more to see, to treasure and to be. I was remembering today those days when we were once kinds, when we use d to build up some amazing things out of any simple daily objects and it would make us happiest people in the world. We would build castles, space ships, even countries and new galaxies and then once mother would call for dinner we would as easily dismount it all again to be ready for something else next time. I wonder, wasn't it much easier then to learn same lessons of letting go. I don't remember much of my childhood. Probably since the time they cut my wings but I do remember that then it was so much easier to who you really are in that moment -- a performer, Cleopatra, a pilot of a space ship, a hunter, a doctor, a princess... even if until dinner time or for a moment. And therefore I keep remembering that growi...
