Embrace Who You Are: The Path to Your Bright Future
Jada Budhoo | Editor
No matter where you are in this world, you will always matter to someone. Whether you travel thousands of miles or stay in one place, you will have a profound impact on the lives of others. Your presence has the power to bring joy and make a difference in ways you may never fully realize. I have been there before, I felt like I lived many situations over again, and replayed different life times before being present in this one. In these experiences I realized that someone might always have something to say, so I suggest being your true authentic self.
The time between adolescence and adulthood is typically the time when individuals are soul searching. When you’re put through education, you’re a student. When you get a job, you’re a worker. Despite these titles, they do not define who you are as a person, they are duty based tasks that are implemented in society to benefit the economy. The population as a whole is grown into society through nature and nurture, meaning that every individual is impacted by their environment and the people who live in it. This is a wonderful thing because groups of people have their own cultures they abide by and daily rituals different to their peers.
Finding the differences that people have with one another is varied one-of-a-kind and presents a sense of creativity amongst humanity. Without creativity, we wouldn’t have subcultures that do define our personalities. Gamers who enjoy competition, Goths, Emos, Punk, Fashion, etc. Think of all the new songs, outfits, and food recipes that would never have been discovered if people didn't try new things. The world is wide, and it's your oyster to enjoy. By staying true to yourself, you make your own way, just like the other subcultures throughout the world.
Even though we may not always be able to control how others perceive us, we are the ones who ultimately know ourselves best. It's important to be true, despite any negative perceptions that may exist. Like the saying, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," each person's identity is formed through a unique blend of values, interests, and desires. No one will ever be exactly the same as another individual, so we should hold onto our own sense of self.
