The world is how you see it

Have you ever thought about the importance of context? Take this images you see here. They may not make much sense out of the “it’s just a picture” justification but actually each of them is telling a brief story about me.

The first one is about how I finally moved out to live on my own and how I’m still figuring things out with the package that’s included with independence. I know I have to define really soon where I want my career to go to. It’s still a really hard decision for me. I want my life to be of use for humanity and the world, like the legends I admire did with theirs, but I don’t know yet which path I should follow in order to do so.

The second image is about my likes. I enjoy reading (leer means “reading” in spanish) very much.

The third one is my little chihuaua Molly. She is my baby dogther (daughter + dog –> I’m so smart). I love dogs! And Molly is the best partner I could ask for this adventure called adult life. My life would never feel complete without her.

 


Are there more people inside me?

Like all the things you were never really interested in doing but start doing out of a sudden, the creation of this little online kingdom is starting as a school project, but who knows, maybe I’ll like it and keep doing it. We’ll see what happens. I am doing it in english since the course I’m taking is in english plus I figured my international friends could be interested in reading this.

During this course I’m taking at school we discussed about identity and more importantly about online identity. And I was mulling the idea of us human beings not having only one version of ourselves but many that are conditioned to context. I know… weird. But I have a point you’ll see.

When we stand in front of certain people we behave in a certain way because we are taught to do exactly that. I’m not going to behave the same way I do with my family, with my co-workers or my boss. There’s a bunch of sociology theory written about this. But I was thinking what if it’s not behavior what context is conditioning but a whole mindset resulting in different versions of ourselves. Every version with its own likes and dislikes, with its own interests, its own experiences and ways to react before any situation. Maybe all the versions have the same perception but the way that perceived reality is process is different.
