A thought
came through my mind and i felt the need to write it down.
I was scrolling through social media for some follow-up work from a recent project i did. As i look through some of the posts that were posted by the influencers involved, it dawned on me that these people all felt 'unhappy', 'disgruntled' and feel 'short-changed' at some point during their engagement to the project, but now as they post about it, they are promoting it like it's the best thing that has happened to them.
I understand that sometimes we display displease because we are overwhelmed by negative emotions, and when the emotions swept over, we feel it's not that bad afterall. But what is it? What is it that really always makes us chase after things that we dont really believe, and we don't really want? When we do that, what is it, that we REALLY WANT?
I used to stop myself from discussing these talks with people because it sounds as if i'm greater than thou. But I know that really isn't my intention, so I've decided I will discuss it. Because, if I don't stop and think and check, then it is so easy to get carried away by the waves of social standards, by self doubts, by 'let's just do that, cos everyone is doing that'. I dont want to be other people, I want to get to know myself, and be myself.
