Tattered Seams

I have a theory that behind every confident person is a series of mishaps that noone ever sees. People always view me as a confident person who has it all together, but I know that I am no different than them. Why Tattered Seams? Tattered Seams....the kind at the bottom of your shirt or pants that you know should try to fix so that you can look so put together on the outside... to hide how not put together you are in the inside.

Who I want to be

I spend a lot of time thinking about who I want to be vs. who I do not want to be. When I see things that I do not want to be, I try to find the similarities between myself and that thing, or that action.

I have a roommate for the past 5 months and there are so many things about the way she acts that makes me not want to be like her at all. Yet, given that I had the same thoughts and feelings as her, I see how they could translate into how she is acting.

And lately I spend a lot of time asking the question: How do I let myself have feelings without letting them turn into actions? Or, is it that I should be thinking more about what kind of actions I should turn them into?

      "Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would to die if you were forbidden to write. This most of all: ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: must I write?" -Rainer Maria Rilke
