'Lately, I have just been thinking about whether or not people act like they do to try and fit in, or because they actually are that kind of person.
Sorry to rant but, I consider myself a music person, and lately I have been listening to some of my favourite music, Rock/Indie, and I just couldnt get into it. It just made me wonder if I am not a music person, who am I?.'
People are changing all the time, especially in our younger years, we're exploring life and experiencing new things, if you saw my Itunes list, which has everything I've listened to since I was 13, it's weird how different the songs are to each other.
But sometimes, we do just need to take a break from everything, things can get too much without us even realising, we go off and dabble into different things all the time, and it'll either just lead you to something you love even more, or bring you back to what you did love the most.

But when do we always really know ourselves? And can you really only just be one type of person? I've been doing drama since I was 10, and I'm studying it at university, I sing, and I love it probably more than I love acting, but I don't tend to do anything with it anymore, except practice in my room (Apologies to Sophii, Ben, and Lauren. Who live in the surrounding rooms!) And I do this blog, which I'm stupidly passionate about too, and I really would love to talk about these kind of things for a living too.
'Just abit of a blow when you realise you are not sure where you are, there are people that you can say for sure are say, Rap people, or Heavy Metal people, but if you dont even know yourself...'
Some people just know from an early age what their life was for them, music, drama, sciences, public services etc, and some people don't know until they're older. My mum only went to university the year before I did to do her nursing degree.
As for me personally, I'm still dipping round the pools of what I could make out of myself. So don't worry if you don't know 'who you are,' your life is there to explore and find out.
Explore different things and see how you feel towards them, a lot of people spend 20 of their younger years focused on one thing, then suddenly change their minds and do something completely different! It's not a bad thing to not know, it's an opportunity, at any age to explore yourself and the world that you're in.
So don't worry :D

I don't think being a certain person is what's important, but it's being able to feel comfortable with whatever person you are, even if it's radically changed.
ReplyDeleteI was into all heavy music and lately I really like the chilled out indie stuff that I swore I never would... I don't mind because I still see it as listening to the music I enjoy. I don't feel like I've betrayed myself, just that interests change over time.
In that way, I feel more like myself because I'm not trying to convince myself that I still like things I don't to keep friends happy.
I agree with what you're saying :)
ReplyDeleteit's definitely a part of us, and I agree on how it's being able to feel comfortable with being whatever person you are is the most important
Which is kind of why I mentioned how we have loads of time to find something that we love, because we all have something that we work on the most, and even though it doesn't define us as a person completely, it's the one thing that will be a massive part of our lives. Which is why we should explore who we are, and not just settle on one thing and be unhappy when we start to think it might not be us afterall :) x
