Who are we?

Who are we?

Who are we? Or Should I say “who am I?” Could we be players in a game? Just a part of a pre-recorded main frame? Destined to be categorized and stamped, labeled by country, state, ethnicity, occupation, education, age, height, status. There are complications that occur in this main frame, yet very few take a moment to acknowledge and obverse. By neglecting these inconsistencies we fall into the lion’s mouth. At the age of 4 you must enter Pre School and learn how to play and share…because sharing is caring. But if the most important stage of our development that will have some shape or form an impact on who we are when we enter adolescence and even possibly adulthood then why do we pump our children with Barney and Dora the Explorer? Send them to school to play and bring them home to meet and learn to mindlessly enjoy their life long friend. Who will comfort them when they are lonely, make noise because they’ll eventually not be able to stand silence. Will more than likely introduce them to the never ending cycle of consumerism. Who will distract them from life beyond walls. It may educate them on exotic destinations but reduce their drive to actually go out and visit them, because their will become complacent due to the fact that they must leave their couch in order to experience something. How many times have you continued watching a show just because you didn’t want to get up and get the remote to change the channel?

We reach the pressures of puberty. Which is something that happens naturally, fluctuation of hormones, a defining point in our lives that will physically differentiate us from one another as woman and man, girl and boy, girl and woman, and boy and man. In our day and age all of the chemicals we eat on a daily basis combined with the injections we pump in our livestock to help them reproduce and grow, so they can increase in speed and quantity to our kitchens, might have had a slight affect on our bodies with regards to puberty. But the point is the young man whose voice hasn’t changed yet, or hasn’t yet progressed towards his final height will be mocked and ridiculed by the other boys or should I say young men who hit puberty at the “right” age. Just as some females will hear “you’re as flat as a board” their teen idols are on the covers of FHM etc with their cleavage up to their chins.

Now let us skip all of the peer pressure that comes along with 19 and 21 for our friends to the south. The anxiety of finding who you are because you’re so distracted by the three letter word attached to drinking until you can’t stand and smoking until you just have to sleep. Because really it’s just a waste of time and you’ll be lucky if you realize that after your first few encounters. But if you stick to the main frame you’ll keep trucking and move right on to mid twenties. For women at the prime or not so prime age of 25 you should be looking for your life long partner, your partner in crime who will be the bread winner and father to your 2.5 children. Hopefully you’ve met Mr. Wonderful before 25 cause I mean 26 is right around the corner and not only will your biological clock start ticking you’re parents will be knocking on your door waiting to adore your offspring.

Men, on the other hand don’t quite yet have to be ready to settle down, but they sure as hell have better started. Society is waiting for them to enter the work force. By 25 if you’re playing the game just as you were intended to you should be living the “lifestyle.” And boy that girl that was by your side before you entered the world wind doesn’t step up don’t worry your in your prime there’re plenty more where she came from. It’s almost like men have two mid life crisis’s. #1 when the COLLAR yes the collar corrupts. #2 when they’re inner self realizes that they’ve lost the fight versus the collar and the inner child is looking for round two.

There is no tangent here to be found! These are just some loop holes in the game that one should not begin to devalue their self worth if they do not mindlessly engage in the main frame the one and only game. Society.

So before things get to your head

Before the image you portray today wins the battle between you and the world

Wake up and look around

You may be surprised by what you’ve found

You may ask yourself who am I? Who is this? When did it all happen?

I wish you all the best. I really hope you’ll wake up in time to pass life’s test.
