A person is full of ideas, interests, and passions.
We all are.
But still, we strive for the one and only ideal person to be.
We spend our entire life building ourselves, or more or less who we imagine to be.
How do we want to physically appear to feel the person we “are”? Does the way we move, dress and act, meet with how we want the society around us to perceive us? Do the things we own work with what we are trying to become?
Does the job we work fit our interests and ethics? And can we stand behind that?
Do the friends we have reflect the social background we want to be seen in?
Don't get me wrong I think the person we are and want to become is the biggest project of our life, but isn’t it tiring?
Can we find happiness, gratefulness and joy while we are constantly optimizing, criticizing and building ourselves?
This worries me. Are we losing feeling and our instinct for situations and our body?
Are we so busy trying to make it happen that we lose the inner connection to the people around us, to nature telling stories and animals painting pictures?
I wonder… I wonder when our perfect life mentality will break US, us as individuals, us as a society and us on a global scale.
Wrote this a few months ago and found it today while sorting my drafts. Haha have a think ;)
