The Face Behind the Blog (Part 2: Everything Else)

     Now that I hope you have a clearer mental picture of me, I will briefly explain everything else about myself- more specifically though, my personality. After this, I will hardly ever talk too much about myself, considering that there might just be about a trillion other much more important and interesting things. As for my personality, I cannot really pick another word. Some people might describe themselves as outgoing, shy, crazy, or something like that, but in actuality, everyone is some or more of those things at one point or another. By choosing to describe myself as curly, I am saying that just like everyone else, I am a bunch of different things tangled together that eventually frizzes to constitute me.
     I realize there might be millions of people in the world that are very similar to myself. There might be another person in this world that is exactly like me, according to the Doppleganger Theory of quantum physics! Yet, every feeling, emotion, substance, object, etc. has an opposite. That is an undeniable fact of life that proves itself everyday. I am shy, yet outgoing, quiet and loud. I am rational while being extremely spontaneous. I love peace and quiet, and yet I crave chaos and disorder. Being one of these things makes me want the other, and yet that is what makes me a person, sane and human.
     I read a few lines from The Book Thief by Markus Zusak that explains perfectly what it feels like to exist as a human. It describes exactly what it is like to grow up as a Hispanic female teenager in this society, but as well as the merit and worth of every person despite their appearance and inward attributes.  
     "To most people, Hans Hubermann was barely visible. An un-special person... Somehow, though, and I'm sure you've met people like this, he was able to appear as merely part of the background, even if he was standing at the front of a line. He was always just there. Not noticeable. Not important or particularly valuable... The frustration of that appearance, as you can imagine, was its complete misleadence, let's say. There most definitely was value in him, and it did not go unnoticed..." (pg. 34).
     So with this I would like to end by saying that I am just like everyone else. Similar by flesh and blood, and the same by mind, spirit, and soul. Thank you for visiting my blog, and hopefully I entertained you enough to come back and read some more.
