WHO ARE YOU

One thing I have identified in my society is that people try as much of possible to define themselves diversely with the ultimate goal of wining the hearts of others. Virtually every one in the society try to convince others on the need to consider who they are. Most people live fake lives because they feel like being themselves will not help. It is not surprising to see youth of our time trying every thing possible to attain certain status which normally takes time to attain. Mostly we don't want to wait and build ourselves up by receiving the right kind of training we need to course our life in the right way. We have become imitators or copy-cats, because we want to impress others with our new found fake life. Sometimes i don't even know the kind of people i am with. Because most of them have hidden their true identity and have masked themselves with deceit. Lie lies lies !!! every where you go. Honestly access yourself WHO ARE YOU?

WHAT IS IDENTITY

From https://www.merriam-webster.com

the set of qualities and beliefs that make one person or group different from others.

We are all different in diverse ways, because of our environment and kind of training we have received. We must accept that we are unique and when we come together as one, our uniqueness set us apart and help us to build something beautiful. Some people have been brain drained to believe that they are nothing and for that matter they should accept certain convection . In most families you will realize that upbringing is different. Its painful when you see well trained youth adopting certain lifestyle because they are called misfit by their peers. Some are not allowed to join certain class of people because they don't have what it takes.No matter what you do "YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE". Don't be deceived by other to think that you are misfit. Learn how to accept your personality and make sure you don't compromise it for any reason.

I MAY BE WEIRD, BUT I AM UNIQUE

I recall instances where people called me all sort of names because i acted uniquely from them and did not follow their ways. My teachers think of me as someone who thinks "OUTSIDE THE BOX" , i always tell them that i already know what is in the box so why will accept to live according to what is inside the box.
Thats why i love GAVIN DEGRAW SONG " I DON'T WANT TO BE"

I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from

[Chorus:]
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned!

[Chorus]
Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situation-made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody

[Chorus]
I don't want to be [x4]
