New Year, New Me?

The mind is limitless, and you're an effort away from being anything you want –– even a self-convinced lie. But it does not matter in subjective truth. We are what we want to be. And at times, we will always be picking the identity that best suits us. Fake it till you make it a reality. This has become dramatic, but I've chosen this identity because to be deep – I need to pretend to be.

Identities are nuanced for in most part, they are made up and not predisposed. In the eyes of importance, you become centralized in the belief of your self-value. It's not a bad thing. Not one identity makes it out in one piece without shedding a few skins along the way. Movie writers pick identities to write about and follow those traits till the very end to create a story. Similar to life, we are currently in the identity that will carry us to the end of our movie. James Bond is James Bond, The Narrator was Tyler Durden, and Anakin Skywalker will always become Darth Vader.

When it comes to an audience, who do you play?

In a conversation I had a while, I was asked questions about Leadership, Integrity, Adaptability, and Responsibility. They didn't realize they spelled out LIAR. I answered every answer honestly but I had to rely back upon previous roles to answer to the best ability. I'm not one for answering the question of who I am; it's rather an experience. Personality questions are not accurate, there is a goal and people are going to answer based on what you want to hear because we understand what you're looking for and we want to be accepted for who we "are". Experience the identity for what it's worth.

Sometimes the best way to see yourself is in the eyes of different people. It's a view that's not biased. Remember picking partners in schools? Generally, you'd want to pick the smart one. By that phrase alone, you can picture the smart girl from your class (it's always a girl). That identification has been cemented towards that person (girl). It's a pretty generic trait but most personalities are either and or. You're either smart or you're not. If you're not, why didn't you choose to be?

The ego is the meditator between your ID (instincts by memories) and Super-Ego (instincts by morals). Unless you're ready to let it all go — your memories, your sense of morality, and your instincts, you won't change in the new year. New Year, Same Identity.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉
