Who are you? A simple question,yet so complex at the same time.An answer to this question should be simple."I am a person." Instead,the answer everyone craves is one that requires us to dig deeper within ourselves.An answer that could aid or hinder our progress in the complex social stepladder.When someone asks you whos you are,what do you tell them? Do you start with your name? Most people do,so yuu may be wondering why this is a problem.This initial answer is not the problem...the problem is the inevible onslaught of questions that follow.These are the ones that probe into your inner subconcious,the questions that can ruin your life if your words arent chosen carefully.Okay maybe im being slightly dramatic,but in a world where social acceptance is everything,one wrong move can make you a pariah forever...Then again,maybe thats not a horrible thing...i dont believe you have to change,if people dont like you for the way you are,you shouldnt have to mold yourself to be the person the want you to be.
Be proud of yourself.We are afterall our own worst enemies,and if we cant love ourselves,neither can anyone else.Sometimes you have to make descisions for you.Ive begun to figure this out,i even believe weve covered that in an earlier post.I mean i made the descision to alienate my self from "normal" society but starting the body mod process.By that i mean im not going to like get devil horns and gauge every piercing i have but,i have been tattooed,and plan to eventually get more,and ive pierced my lip,and i plan to get more of those out there piercings as well.
When people ask me who i am i tell them.I am a person,i am Shilo.I am different and thats okay.I fight depression,and i fight with people every who say the things i do are to impress people,that im stuck up,im conceited.If thats how i seem,i guess thats okay,im happy and thats all that matters.I am a sister,and a best friend.I am one of the people standing tall to help make sure that one day the LGBT community will have the same rights as me,not for me,but for my big brother and my friends who are fighting this battle.I am a gluten-free teen whos stuggled with sickness and the jokes that insued about me being anorexic due to extreme weightloss and malnutrition caused by my disease.I am a persom,and thats all that i can be...
So who are you?
