I Finally Became A Person

<p>Do you remember when you first became a person ? Do you remember the moment when you discovered your sense of self ? Do you remember when you started to exist ?</p> <p>I will not lie to you. You have not always existed. You have not always been a person. You have not always had a sense of self. You have not always had a personal identity.</p> <blockquote> <p>WHAT THE HECK IS HE ON ABOUT ? I HAVE ALWAYS EXISTED ! HAVE YOU REALLY?</p> </blockquote> <p>In primary school, I was fairly popular, charismatic, and funny. I was a class clown among teachers and students alike. It is just my personality. These traits were the essence of my personality, even till this day. In Year six, I went through a phase of living my personality through the lens of others. I lived my &lsquo;Perceived&rsquo; personality, instead of my &lsquo;Created&rsquo; personality. By &lsquo;Perceived&rsquo;, meaning how other people &lsquo;Create&rsquo; our personality in their mind&rsquo;s. Our personalities are &lsquo;Perceived&rsquo; by our looks, style, walk, etc. The way you perceive someone&#39;s personality, doesn&#39;t mean that that is his actual personality. I began living my life through a &lsquo;Perceived&rsquo; personality, a fake version of myself. I hated it, but it is just what I was &lsquo;Perceived&rsquo; as. A few months into year six, I had had enough. I made up my mind to live my identity the way I would like to live it, to be &lsquo;Perceived&rsquo; the way I want it to be perceived.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/good-vibes-club/i-finally-became-a-person-f9c08b68e82d">Visit Now</a></p>
