Day 2: deep/depth


Last year, i wondered what being a deep person would be like.

Also, if i could be considered one of them.

After being honest with myself and admitting that i wasn't, i wondered what i could do to reach that depth, that intellectuality that i found so appealing.

Being a cultivated person, going against the actual norm of being sucked into a screen, is something widely romantisized in many of my favorite movies. Characters are so eloquent, witty, and full of knowledge that make them a thousand times more interesting, and, essentially, unique. That, paired with ine-of-a-kind beauty and a good dose of self confidence and self worth seems like the most exquisite molotov cocktail to me, in the best way possible.

To have many layers to discover, straying from being shallow, is something to strive towards.

It's not enough just being a good listener, soaking up all of the information that others have gathered which they conveniently tell you about. Because you feel satisfied with the new data and opt not to do any research on your own.

It's not enough to be politically correct and not have many opinions of your own, simply seeing both sides of the story and being empathic over everyone. Empathy is cool, but not when it compromises having a personality. Make decisions fearlessly, fight for your opinion when required, and know how to do that.

self growth is important. there's many resolutions to accomplish, but why does this depth feel so hard to obtain?

Prancing around in your best clothes Doesn't portray who you really are;  But rather  displays who you wish to be: Another one of the bunch without any  Personality and style; Following trends like cookie cutters, Those which make delicious desserts of perfect appearance That, however, are somewhat homogeneous And therefore, Boring. Leading an army of people that Doesn't fight for you at the end of the day, Avidly greeting anyone with a familiar face, Although you might not even get on well, Just to get a feel of what being popular is,  When all you really are  is  as fragile  as reputation itself. You are like the two faced coins you use to pay for The night's liquid courage, Used to swe

It's true. The good always win. The light prevails over the shadows. But, how can I ensure that I won't be a crippled old lady with deep-set smile lines, but a frown buried within her soul? Because the peace of mind achieved from being good comes at a price. You are bound to be misunderstood and dismissed by many, throughout the course of your life. The truth is, I can't do anything about it. I am not able to force people to see me as I am, or as I see myself. No matter how much I am ready to give them, to devote, I can't guarantee their appreciation, their reciprocity. I will simply have to be content doing it all for my own sake. For those who cannot find a single string of darkness within then, are the ones who are bombarded with it from exterior forces.
