  1. After rethinking this post since the last time I read it, my thoughts are a bit more focused. In being oneself I think we can only know one thing for sure: We are born amazing creatures (no matter who or what you think the author of life is). We have a vast potential within us to do wonderful, productive, creative things; to be compassionate, generous, etc. But the minute we are born and ready to grow into all that we are meant to be, the world begins to change us to make us into its version of a creator. Be it through relationships, the media, experiences, etc. There’s a quote by e.e.cummings that I really like:
    .
    “To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human can fight — and never stop fighting.”
