Figuring Life: The Velocity of Knowing Oneself

 

Figuring Life: The Velocity of Knowing Oneself

                No one can build you the bridge on which you, and only you, must cross the river of life. If you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you, you must take the first step because little triumphs are the pennies of self-esteem. There is no better way to wake up from the anesthesia in which we are commonly blinded by the gloomy clouds, it is to know ourselves better than how others know us. It is hard to know oneself, it is like a mysterious business, that if a man have seven layers of skin he would skin himself seven times just to know his true self and in the end it is still not the truth that he is looking for. There may be countless number of trails and bridge that everyone can walk but there is a bridge that only you can cross.

                When we start the path of discovering ourselves even if just inside the four corners of our room, staring in the ceiling we will uncover a lot of things about ourselves. In the light of this situation that we are in I realized that maybe this pandemic are doing me good because it turns out I know myself better than before. I somehow manage to learn new things like painting, journals, and makeup. I also discover that I am a great writer when I am writing alone and when I am going through something it gives me ease when I write my thoughts down. It is lie finding the inner peace in a piece of paper or a pen or a sheet of note in my phone. I also develop my writing and speaking skills as well as my English literacy at this point of life I am more comfortable in speaking English than using our own language. Some of the qualities that I want to perfect and improve for the future is my communication and writing skills because I enrolled to the journalism course in various universities so I think improving those will do me good because of the path that I chose.

                Have I cross the bridge that I’m talking about earlier I think not but I am on the process of building it. I might be walking towards the right or maybe left, now forward and backwards, probably I’m just walking wherever I want but I’m exploring myself to dig deeper and know myself better.
