When I was a kid, there is always someone whom I expect to pick up the pieces for me. My parents were always there to lift me up when I’m down, but there will come a time that my parents can’t be there anymore. This is the time where I consider myself as an adolescent wherein, I should take the responsibility for the cards that I dealt without victimizing myself in the process.
As I grow old, expectation rises as well as responsibilities. I always remind myself that I should always consider all the actions I am taking now as whatever I do will greatly affect my future. Changes are inevitable and uncontrollable. What can be controlled is how I manage, react to and work through the change process. Thus, having the mind and gesture of an adolescent is important to us.
Identity is a mask and costume that we have worn since we adapt the thinking, feeling, and behaviors projected onto us by parents, caregivers, family, religion, and society.
However, to achieve an “authentic (self-) identity,” the process will always start within you. You must first start to learn how to be yourself, which means living authentically with a deep sense of who you are and what you have to offer. To fully know yourself, you must know your value. You must accept your flaws and imperfections as that makes you unique. You must be grateful for what you have.
Furthermore, you should always think a hundred of times when you are making a decision as you might regret the consequences of what you are doing.
And lastly, guard your heart and have an authentic relationship with people. Life is indeed unpredictable. There is no possible way for us to tell what we expect in the future. Thus, as an adolescent we should always aim for an authentic self-identity which helps us to prepare enough for the long journey ahead.
I do consider myself a chemical compound that is formed from two or more elements, elements with distinct properties or characteristics. My positive and negative traits are what I consider as my elements as it molds me to who I am today. I, myself, is made up of different characteristics may it be positive or negative.
There are times where negativity prevails within me. In terms of academics, there is always a time that I doubt myself the most. Those times are my darkest hours, a time where I always doubt myself whether I am good enough. I doubt my skills and abilities which makes me toxic. However, I never let this negativity stay. It is a battle of inner me where in, my positivity wins as I, myself is my own ally. With my characteristic of being optimistic, I do believe that I’m smart and I can do all things as I strive hard and trust God.
Thus, in order for me to be a better version of myself, I need to lose some of the negativity and gain more positivity.
